Mainwaring Baronets

The Baronetcy of Mainwaring of Over-Peover has twice been created for members of the ancient family of Mainwaring of Over-Peover, Cheshire.

It was created on 22 November 1660 by Charles II on his restoration, for Thomas Mainwaring, High Sheriff of Cheshire in 1657 and Knight of the Shire otherwise Member of Parliament for Cheshire in 1660.
