Henry Poole (1590-1645) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons variously between 1624 and 1640.
[1] Poole was the son of Sir Henry Poole of Sapperton, Gloucestershire, former MP for Gloucestershire, and his wife Anne Wroughton, daughter of Sir William Wroughton of Broad Hinton, Wiltshire.
He matriculated at Merton College, Oxford on 10 July 1607 and was a student of the Middle Temple in 1609.
The Pooles had argued that father and son were forced to comply with the Royalist party and had never acted against parliament.
[2] The family's fortunes never fully recovered from the effects of the civil war, and their estate at Sapperton was sold by his grandson Henry in 1661.
