Title in the Baronetage of England From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.[1] The Bedingfelds are said to descend from 'Ogerlis', a Norman, who, in 1100, held land at Bedingfield, Suffolk. His descendant, Edmund Bedingfeld, married Margaret (died 1446), daughter and heiress of Sir Robert Tuddenham (and sister and co-heir of her brother Sir Thomas Tuddenham, executed in 1462), bringing to her husband estates including the manor of Oxburgh, near Swaffham, Norfolk.

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 eighth Baronet was a Major in the 3rd Battalion of the Liverpool Regiment, and served in the Second Boer War. The present Baronet is a co-heir to the ancient barony of Grandison, which has been in abeyance since 1375. Henry Paston-Bedingfeld, the noted officer of arms, is the 10th baronet.
The family seat is Oxburgh Hall, King's Lynn, Norfolk, now owned by the National Trust.
