The Sheffield Baronetcy, of Normanby in the County of Lincoln, is a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain. It was created on 1 March 1755 for Charles Herbert Sheffield, the illegitimate son of John Sheffield, 1st Duke of Buckingham and Normanby.
On the death of his half brother, Edmund Sheffield, 2nd Duke of Buckingham, in 1735, he inherited the family estates including Buckingham House, which was sold to George III in 1762, and Normanby Hall, which remained the family residence until 1963, after which the family resided at Sutton Park, York.
The fourth baronet served as High Sheriff of Lincolnshire in 1817. The fourth baronet's fourth son George Sheffield (13 September 1836 - 10 October 1898) was the private secretary to Richard Lyons, 1st Viscount Lyons, for over 20 years, including when Lyons was British Ambassador to the United States and British Ambassador to France.
The fifth baronet served as High Sheriff of Lincolnshire in 1872. The sixth baronet sat as Conservative member of parliament for Brigg.
Cara Delevingne is the great-great-granddaughter of the sixth baronet and Samantha Cameron is the daughter of the eighth baronet.
