He was returned as MP for Cirencester in 1837, considered an unreformed wool town quite unaffected by the Great Reform Act 1832. However he was unhappy in parliament and accepted the Chiltern Hundreds in July 1844. In London he lived at 32a Mount Street, and was a member of the Carlton Club. A successful businessman he purchased Knole Park, on the Downs near Bristol. His son, Thomas, junior was also an MP. (en) |
