The title Baron Willoughby of Parham is a barony by writ(?) in the Peerage of England. It was created, in 1547, for Sir William Willoughby, a descendant of the Baron Willoughby de Eresby. At the death of the tenth Baron, the barony was not given to the descendants of his nearest cousin due to the cousin's emigration to Virginia, America, but the cousin's grandson gained, at last, the barony as sixteenth Baron. The Peerage of England comprises all peerages created in the Kingdom of England before the Act of Union in 1707. ... The Barony of Willoughby de Eresby (pronounced Willuhby Deersby) is a barony by writ in the Peerage of England, dating to 1313. ...

It is nearly uncertain what happened to the barony at the death of the seventeenth baron in 1779; perhaps it became abeyant or extinct.
