Hunloke baronets
Extinct baronetcy in the Baronetage of England
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 at Oxford after the Battle of Edgehill the previous year; Cokayne discounts the tradition that this occurred on the battlefield.[1]

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, also in 1856 the baronetcy became extinct. The 2nd Baronet was High Sheriff of Derbyshire in 1687, and the 6th Baronet in 1840.[1]
The family wealth arose from collieries and ironworks on their 3,000-acre (12 km2) Derbyshire estate.[2] Wingerworth Hall, the family seat from the 16th century, was demolished in the 1920s.[3]
