Windebank baronets

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Windebank Baronetcy (also spelled Windebanke) of Haines Hill in Berkshire, was a title in the Baronetage of England. It was created on 25 November 1645 for Thomas Windebank,[citation needed] Member of Parliament for Wootton Bassett and Clerk of the Signet.[1][2] He was the eldest son of Sir Francis Windebank, Secretary of State under Charles I.[2] The title became extinct on the death of the second Baronet in 1719.[1]
