The Corbet baronetcy, of Stoke upon Tern in the County of Shropshire, was created in the Baronetage of Great Britain on 27 June 1786 for Corbet Corbet.[2][3] Born Corbet D'Avenant, he was the son of Anne Corbet, daughter of the fourth Baronet of the 1627 creation. He was heir to his uncle the 6th Baronet of the 1627 creation and changed his surname to Corbet under the terms of his uncle's will upon inheritance. The title became extinct on his death in 1823.[3]
