The Whichcote Baronetcy, of the Inner Temple in the City of London, was a title in the Baronetage of England. It was created on 2 April 1660 to reward Sir Jeremy Whichcote for his services to the exiled King Charles II.[2] Whichcote, previously Solicitor-General to Prince Rupert of the Rhine, bought the post of Warden of Fleet Prison and, during the Commonwealth, was able to shelter the king's friends and agents in this way.[3]
The third Baronet sat as Member of Parliament for Cambridgeshire. The fourth Baronet was High Sheriff of Lincolnshire in 1777, the fifth baronet in 1790, the seventh Baronet in 1837 and the ninth Baronet in 1900. The title became extinct on the death of the tenth Baronet in 1949.
Benjamin Whichcote was the elder brother of the first Baronet.
