The Halford baronetcy of Wistow, Leicestershire was created on 27 September 1809 in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom for Henry Halford, a prominent society physician who was physician extraordinary to the George III from 1793. Descended maternally from the 5th Baronet of the first creation, born Henry Vaughan, he changed his surname to Halford by Act of Parliament in expectation of inheriting Wistow Hall.[1] The baronetcy became extinct with the death of his grandson, the fourth baronet, in 1897.
