The Walker, later Walker-Okeover baronetcy, of Gateacre Grange in the County of Lancaster and Osmaston Manor in the County of Derby, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 12 February 1886 for Andrew Walker, a brewer, Lord Mayor of Liverpool, High Sheriff of Lancashire and benefactor to the city of Liverpool.[1][2]
The 2nd Baronet married Ethel Blanche, sister of his father's second wife, and co-heir of Haughton Ealdred Okeover.[1] Through the marriage Okeover Hall, Staffordshire, came into the family. The 3rd Baronet assumed by Royal licence the additional surname of Okeover in 1956.[3] He served as Lord-Lieutenant of Derbyshire from 1951 to 1977.
Osmaston Manor, Derbyshire, was acquired by the 1st Baronet in 1884.[2] The house was demolished in 1964.[4] The family also owns the House of Glenmuick, Ballater, Aberdeenshire.[5]
