George Pitt (died 1745)

George Pitt (died 1745) of Shroton, Dorset, and Strathfieldsaye, Hampshire, was an English landowner and Tory politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1715 and 1727.

Pitt was born after 1691, the eldest son of George Pitt of Strathfieldsaye, Hampshire, and his first wife Lucy Pile, daughter of Thomas Pile of Baverstock, Wiltshire, and Shroton, Dorset.

His mother had died on 17 November 1697 and in 1714 he succeeded to the Dorset estates of his maternal grandfather.

He appears to have changed sides as he defeated the Tory, Thomas Horner, at a by-election for Dorset on 25 January 1727, with the help of Bubb Dodington, who described him as "scarcely capable".

It claimed she "was forcibly abducted from London by her husband,... and kept locked up at ... at Melcombe, in Dorset".
