Chetwynd baronets

The Chetwynd Baronetcy, of Brocton Hall in the County of Stafford, is a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain.[2] It was created on 1 May 1795 for Sir George Chetwynd, Kt., of Brocton Hall, Staffordshire, for many years Clerk to the Privy Council. The second Baronet was Member of Parliament for Stafford and High Sheriff of Warwickshire in 1828. The fourth Baronet served as High Sheriff of Warwickshire in 1875. As of 13 June 2007 the presumed ninth Baronet has not successfully proven his succession and is therefore not on the Official Roll of the Baronetage, with the baronetcy dormant since 2004.

Arms: Quarterly, 1st and 4th, Azure a Chevron between three Mullets Or; 2nd and 3rd, Argent two Chevrons Gules; Motto: Quod Deus Vult Fiet (What God wills, let it be done) [1]

This family is a junior branch of the Chetwynds of Ingestre, Staffordshire. The first Baronet was a descendant of Thomas Chetwynd (d. 1555), whose brother Anthony Chetwynd was the grandfather of Walter Chetwynd, 1st Viscount Chetwynd (see Viscount Chetwynd). The first Baronet inherited an estate at Old Grendon, North Warwickshire, in 1798 and Grendon Hall (demolished 1935) became the family seat.

gollark: Stat-tracky ones seem more boring.
gollark: Also, it would be `achieve_achievement(ctx, name)` but meh.
gollark: I guess I could just expose an `achieve_achievement(name)` function but that seems inelegant somehow.
gollark: For example, one achievement will be maybe "set a reminder for over 3 years".
gollark: Well, not EVERYTHING works nicely as a tracked stat.
