Biography of Sir Hardolph Wasteneys, 4th Baronet (1675-1742) and his family
Hardolph Wasteneys was the son of Gervase Wasteneys of Headon, Nottinghamshire, and his wife Jane, daughter of Lionel Reresby.
He was created a baronet in 1622 and served as Sheriff of Nottinghamshire from 1635-1636.
The Wasteneys line became extinct on the death of the last baronet, Sir Hardolph Wasteneys, 4th Baronet, in 1742. The Headon estate, together with property in Lincolnshire brought by the 4th Baronet's wife Judith Johnson, passed to the baronet's great-niece Judith Laetitia Bury, and thence to her husband
Anthony Eyre of Grove.
