Shuckburgh Baronets

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Shuckburgh Baronetcy, of Shuckburgh in the County of Warwick, is a title in the Baronetage of England. It was created on 25 June 1660 for John Shuckburgh. He was the eldest son of Sir Richard Shuckburgh, Member of Parliament for Warwickshire and a supporter of the Royalist cause in the Civil War, knighted before the Battle of Edghill by Charles I. The second Baronet sat as Member of Parliament for Warwickshire. The sixth Baronet was a politician, mathematician and astronomer. He assumed the additional surname of Evelyn upon the death of the Diarist John Evelyn, whose daughter he had married as his second wife. However, as he was succeded by his younger brother, the surname Evelyn was not retained by any of his successors.

The family seat is Shuckburgh Hall, near Daventry.
