The Vane, later Vane-Tempest Baronetcy, of Long Newton in the County of Durham, was a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain. It was created on 13 July 1782 for Reverend Henry Vane. He was a descendant of Sir Henry Vane the Elder, also the ancestor of the Dukes of Cleveland. Vane married Frances (née Tempest). He was succeeded by his son, the second Baronet. He succeeded to the substantial Tempest estates on the death of his maternal uncle, John Tempest, and assumed by Royal licence the additional surname of Tempest in accordance with his uncle's will. Vane-Tempest represented both the city and county of Durham in Parliament and was a well-known sportsman. He married Anne MacDonnell, 2nd Countess of Antrim. They had one child Lady Frances Anne, who married Lord Charles Stewart, later 3rd Marquess of Londonderry, who assumed the surname of Vane in lieu of his patronymic. Vane-Tempest died in 1813 when the baronetcy became extinct.
Sir Henry Vane-Tempest, 2nd Baronet, was the great-great-grandfather of Sir Winston Churchill through his daughter Lady Frances Anne, mother of Lady Frances Vane, wife of John Churchill, 7th Duke of Marlborough and grandmother of Churchill.
