Paston-Bedingfeld baronets
Title in the Baronetage of England
The Bedingfeld, later Paston-Bedingfeld Baronetcy, of Oxburgh in the County of Norfolk, is a title in the Baronetage of England. It was created by Charles II of England in recompense for the family's losses in the Royalist cause during the Civil War and Interregnum years.
The sixth Baronet married Margaret Anne, daughter and heiress of Edward Paston. In 1830 he assumed by Royal licence the additional surname of Paston.
The family seat is Oxburgh Hall, King's Lynn, Norfolk, now owned by the National Trust.
