Topic: Baron Walpole of Wolterton


  
  Baron Walpole
The title of Baron Walpole was created in the Peerage of Great Britain in 1723 for Robert Walpole, eldest son of the prime minister Sir Robert Walpole, who was later created Earl of Orford and Viscount Walpole.
In 1756 a cousin of the Walpole Earls of Orford was created Baron Walpole of Wolterton, also in the Peerage of Great Britain.
With the extinction of the Earldom of Orford in 1797, the senior Barony of Walpole passed to Lord Walpole of Wolterton, who thus held both titles and was also created for Earl of Orford in 1806.
