Playters Baronets
The Playters Baronetcy, of Sotterley in the County of Suffolk, was a title in the Baronetage of England. It was created on 13 August 1623 for Thomas Playters and was the last baronetcy created by King James I.[1] The second Baronet was Vice-Admiral of Suffolk between 1640 and 1649.[1] The fifth Baronet served as High Sheriff of Suffolk in 1728. The title became extinct on the death of the eighth Baronet in 1832.[2]
The family seat was Sotterley Hall until its sale in 1744[1][2] at which point an estate was purchased at Yelverton in Norfolk.[1]
