Gresham baronets

The Gresham Baronetcy, of Lympsfield in the County of Surrey, was a title in the Baronetage of England. It was created by Charles II on 31 July 1660, soon after his restoration to the throne, for Marmaduke Gresham, who had been a Member for East Grinstead of the Convention Parliament which led the king's restoration. A descendant of Sir John Gresham, a 16th-century Lord Mayor of London, he was later a member of parliament for Bletchingley.

The second Baronet also represented Bletchingley in parliament. The title became extinct on the death of the sixth Baronet in 1801.
