Hanmer baronets of Hanmer (2nd creation, 1774)

The Hanmer baronetcy, of Hanmer in the County of Flint, was created in the Baronetage of Great Britain on 21 May 1774 for Walden Hanmer, Member of Parliament for Sudbury.

The 3rd Baronet represented Shrewsbury, Kingston upon Hull and Flint in Parliament. On 1 October 1872 he was raised to the Peerage of the United Kingdom as Baron Hanmer, of Hanmer, and of Flint, both in the County of Flint. The barony became extinct when he died childless on 8 March 1881 while he was succeeded in the baronetcy by his younger brother, the 4th Baronet.

The 6th Baronet was High Sheriff of Flintshire in 1902. The 8th Baronet was High Sheriff of Clwyd in 1977 and Deputy Lieutenant of the region in 1978.
