Hunloke Baronets

The Baronetcy of Hunloke of Wingerworth was created in the Baronetage of England on 28 February 1643 by King Charles I for 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, who was succeeded by his uncle, upon whose death the Baronetcy was extinct.

The family wealth arose from collieries, ironworks and quarries on their 3000 acre 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.
