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, a Director of the South Sea Company and High Sheriff of Leicestershire in 1784.
In 1813 the 2nd Baronet assumed the surname of Palmer only, in lieu of his patronymic, conforming to the will of his maternal grandfather, Henry Palmer of Wanlip.
