Hunloke baronets

The Hunloke Baronetcy, of Wingerworth in the County of Derby, was a title in the Baronetage of England. It was created on 28 February 1643 by King Charles I for Sir Henry Hunloke, of Wingerworth, near Chesterfield, Derbyshire. Hunloke was a loyal royalist who had been knighted by the King on the battlefield of the Battle of Edgehill the previous year. The baronetcy passed from father to son until the death of the sixth Baronet in 1856. The latter was succeeded by his uncle, upon whose death in 1856 the baronetcy became extinct. The second Baronet was High Sheriff of Derbyshire in 1687 and the sixth Baronet in 1840.

Wingerworth Hall, the seat of the Hunloke family

The family wealth arose from collieries, ironworks and quarries on their 3,000-acre (12 km2) Derbyshire estate. Wingerworth Hall, the family seat from the 16th century, was demolished in the 1920s and the estate was broken up and later redeveloped for housing.

gollark: It MIGHT be.
