The Fettiplace Baronetcy, of Childrey in the County of Berkshire (now Oxfordshire), was a title in the Baronetage of England. It was created on 30 March 1661 for John Fettiplace as a reward for the support given by members of the family, particularly John's uncles John and Edmund, to the Royalist cause in the English Civil War. The title became extinct on the death of the fifth Baronet in 1743.
Their highly unusual grave in Swinbrook Parish Church was carved by William Bird of Oxford in 1686.[1]
