The Hudson, later Palmer Baronetcy, of Wanlip Hall in the County of Leicester, was created in the Baronetage of Great Britain on 28 July 1791 for Charles Grave Hudson,[1] a Director of the South Sea Company and High Sheriff of Leicestershire in 1784. In 1813 the second Baronet assumed by royal sign-manual the surname of Palmer in lieu of his patronymic on succeeding to the estates of his maternal grandfather, Henry Palmer, of Wanlip. The title vests in its ninth holder.
