Henry Perrot

Henry Perrot (29 September 1689 – 6 January 1740), of Northleigh, Oxfordshire, was a British Tory politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1721 to 1740.

He came from a staunchly royalist family which had long connections with the University of Oxford.

[1] Perrot was returned unopposed as a Tory Member of Parliament for Oxfordshire at a by-election on 17 May 1721.

In the winter of 1737, he went to the south of France, where he met the exiled Duke of Ormonde.

In August 1738 at the meeting of the High Borlase Society in Oxford, he proposed authorizing the Duke of Ormonde to represent them at any foreign court, to obtain whatever help they thought necessary to achieve a Stuart restoration.
