Wolseley baronets

The Wolseleys of Staffordshire (and later, Ireland) are an ancient family whose record goes back a thousand years, to Sewardus, Lord Wisele, and are descended from Edward III.

Inside the church are many tombs, wall tablets and other memorials connected with the landed gentry in the parish.

The old house was demolished in 1954 and the commercial ventures of the 11th Baronet created financial difficulties which led to the enforced sale of the estate in 1996.

As of 7 May 2018, there is "no clear or undisputed successor" to the baronetcy according to the Standing Council of the Baronetage,[4] with the title having sat dormant since the death of the 12th Baronet in 1991.

The heir apparent is the present holder's son Nicholas William Garnet Wolseley (born 2010).
