The Lake baronetcy of the Middle Temple, was created in the Baronetage of Great Britain on 17 October 1711 for Bibye Lake, Sub-Governor of the African Company. He was the great-nephew and heir of Sir Edward Lake, 1st Baronet of Carnow.
Initially the baronetcy was passed down to eldest sons. The 6th Baronet died in 1897 without issue. The title passed to his nephew St Vincent Atwell Lake, the 7th Baronet. The 8th Baronetcy was his uncle, Arthur Johnstone Lake, a son of Capt. Edward Lake. In due course, Atwell Henry Lake, a grandson of Sir Henry Atwell Lake, was 9th Baronet. He was succeeded by his son, Sir (Atwell) Graham Lake, 10th Baronet (1923–2013).
