Baron Willoughby of Parham
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The title Baron Willoughby of Parham is a barony by writ(?) in the Peerage of England. It was created, in 1547, for Sir William Willoughby, a descendant of the Baron Willoughby de Eresby. At the death of the tenth Baron, the barony was not given to the descendants of his nearest cousin due to the cousin's emigration to Virginia, America, but the cousin's grandson gained, at last, the barony as sixteenth Baron.
It is nearly uncertain what happened to the barony at the death of the seventeenth baron in 1779; perhaps it became dormant or extinct.
