Malet baronets
The Malet Baronetcy, of Wilbury in the County of Wiltshire, is a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain. It was created on 24 February 1791 for Charles Malet, for diplomatic services in India.[2][3]
The 2nd Baronet was Minister to the German Confederation from 1852 to 1866.[2] The 4th Baronet was Ambassador to Germany between 1884 and 1895.[4]
The 7th baronet was a Colonel in the 8th King's Royal Irish Hussars, who served in the Second Anglo-Boer War and the First World War and was awarded a DSO and OBE.[4] The 8th Baronet was also a Colonel in the 8th King's Royal Irish Hussars, and High Sheriff of Somerset from 1966 to 1967.[5]
Former seat
[edit]Around 1803, the 1st Baronet bought Wilbury Park, an 18th-century house in extensive grounds, in Newton Tony parish, north-east of Salisbury.[6] The estate and its farms remained in Malet ownership until they were sold by the 7th baronet, around 1925.[6]
Newton Tony parish church was rebuilt in 1844, at the expense of (according to one source) the Malet family.[7] Inside are monuments to several generations of Malets.[8] The village pub is called the Malet Arms;[9] that name has been adopted in turn by several inns since the mid-19th century.[6]
