The Buxton baronetcy, of Shadwell Lodge in the County of Norfolk,[1] was created in the Baronetage of Great Britain on 25 November 1800 for Robert Buxton, a political supporter and personal friend of William Pitt the younger.[2][3] He was Member of Parliament for Thetford 1790–96 and for Great Bedwyn 1797–1806.[3]

His son the 2nd Baronet represented Great Bedwyn from 1818 to 1832, and served as High Sheriff of Norfolk in 1841. The 3rd Baronet was member for South Norfolk from 1871 to 1885, and High Sheriff in 1870. The baronetcy became extinct on his death, leaving no male heir, in 1888.[3]
