The Winter Baronetcy, of Huddington Court in the County of Worcestershire, is a title in the Baronetage of England. It was created on 26 April 1650 for George Winter, a landowner and judicary of Worcester. The family are descended from Robert Winter, of Gunpowder plot fame. The family were elevated to the peerage of Baron Winter and Huddington in 1898 when Sir Robert Winter 7th Baronet was ennobled as a result of his long public service as Head of the Travelling Post Office.
