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.

Former seat

Around 1803, the 1st Baronet bought Wilbury Park, an 18th-century house in extensive grounds, in Newton Tony parish, north-east of Salisbury. The estate and its farms remained in Malet ownership until they were sold by the 7th baronet, around 1925.

Newton Tony parish church was rebuilt in 1844, at the expense of (according to one source) the Malet family. Inside are monuments to several generations of Malets. The village pub is called the Malet Arms; that name has been adopted in turn by several inns since the mid-19th century.
