Puckering baronets of Charlton (1620)

The Newton baronetcy, later Puckering baronetcy of Charlton in the County of Kent, was created in the Baronetage of England on 2 April 1620 for Adam Newton, Dean of Durham and tutor to Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales, son of King James I.

The 3rd Baronet changed his surname to Puckering on inheriting the estates of his great-uncle Sir Thomas Puckering, after the death in 1651 of Puckering's daughter Jane, who had married Sir John Bale, 1st Baronet. He was Member of Parliament for Warwickshire in 1661, and for Warwick 1679. He settled at Warwick Priory in 1656, and bought an estate at Woodcote, Warwickshire in 1657. The baronetcy became extinct on his death.
