The Broughton, later Broughton-Delves, later Broughton Baronetcy, of Broughton in the County of Stafford, is a title in the Baronetage of England. It was created on 10 March 1661 for Sir Brian Broughton, of Broughton Hall, near Eccleshall, Staffordshire, High Sheriff of Staffordshire from 1660 to 1661 and the member of an ancient Staffordshire family.
The Broughtons are descended from the ancient Vernon family and in particular from Richard Vernon, fourth son of the 3rd medieval Baron Vernon of Shipbrook, Cheshire. Adam, his son, was of Napton, Warwickshire. Adams's grandson Roger acquired the estate at Broughton, Staffordshire, from which the surname derives, in the 13th century. The first Baronet was the son of Thomas Broughton (died 1648) who was an ardent Royalist and supporter of Charles I and who was obliged to compound at a cost of £3200, for the return of his estates following sequestration by the Parliament at the conclusion of the Civil War. His son was honoured with the baronetcy at the Restoration of Charles II. [1]
The baronetcy was dormant between 1993 and 2022. [2] In 2022, Geoffrey Delves Broughton proved his right of succession. [3] He is the great-great-grandson of Reverend Sir Thomas Delves Broughton, second son of the eighth Baronet. [4]
The family seat is Doddington Hall, near Nantwich, Cheshire. It remains in the family of Sir Evelyn Delves Broughton, 12th Baronet. In the past, the family had also Broughton Hall, an estate in Staffordshire, but this property was sold to John Hall in 1914.[ citation needed ]
The heir apparent is the present baronet's elder son Peter Thomas Delves Broughton (born 1991) [13]
