Shuckburgh Baronets

The Shuckburgh Baronetcy, of Shuckburgh in the County of Warwick, is a title in the Baronetage of England.

The Shuckburgh family take their name from the Warwickshire village in which they settled in the 12th century. In the female line ancestors include William I and Adam de Napton.

The Baronetcy was created on 25 June 1660 for John Shuckburgh, the eldest son of Sir Richard Shuckburgh, (1594–1656) Member of Parliament for Warwickshire and a supporter of the Royalist cause in the Civil War, who was knighted before the Battle of Edgehill by Charles I. His son was raised to the Baronetcy on the Restoration of Charles II of England.

The family seat is Shuckburgh Hall, near Daventry.
