Henry Campion

Henry Campion (c. 1680 – 17 April 1761), of Combwell, Goudhurst, Kent, was a British Tory politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1708 to 1715.

[1] Although his father was a Whig lawyer, Campion was returned as Tory Member of Parliament for East Grinstead at the 1708 British general election.

He did not stand at the 1710 British general election, but was returned as MP for Bossiney at a by-election on 22 December 1710.

He was chosen a commissioner of accounts on 9 April 1711 and was classed as one of the ‘worthy patriots’ who had detected the mismanagements of the previous administration.
