The Baronetcy of Wilbraham of Woodhey, Cheshire was created by James I on 5 May 1621 in the Baronetcy of England for Richard Wilbraham. He was a descendant of the ancient Cheshire family of Radnor who acquired Woodhey by marriage in the 14th century.
His grandson, Thomas Wilbraham Jr., the third Baronet, was High Sheriff of Staffordshire in 1654 and Member of Parliament for Stafford 1679–81. He married Elizabeth Mytton heiress of Weston under Lizard, Staffordshire and he and Lady Elizabeth built a new house at Weston Park in 1671. The baronetcy was extinct on his death. The estate passed to his daughter Mary who married Richard Newport, 2nd Earl of Bradford and later also by marriage to Sir Orlando Bridgeman, 4th Baronet.
