The Lawrence, later Wollaston Baronetcy, of Loseby (i.e. Lowesby Hall) in the County of Leicester, was a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain. It was created on 17 January 1748 for Edward Lawrence Esq., (d.1749), with remainder to his great-nephew, Isaac Wollaston (d.1750) of Lowesby Hall, Leicestershire. Lawrence was MP for Stockbridge. He died in 1749 and was succeeded according to the special remainder by his great-nephew, Isaac Wollaston (d.1750), the second Baronet. He was the grandson of Josiah Woollaston (1652–1689) by his wife Elizabeth Lawrence, sister of the first Baronet. The title became extinct on the death of the second Baronet's son, the third Baronet, who died as a child in 1756.
