Verdin baronets

The Verdin Baronetcy, of the Brocklehurst in the Parish of Davenham and of Wimboldsley in the Parish of Middlewich, both in the County Palatine of Chester, was a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 24 July 1896 for Sir Joseph Verdin.

The title became extinct on his death in 1920.
