Henry Thomas Hope

Henry Thomas Hope (30 April 1808 – 4 December 1862) was a British MP and patron of the arts.

He was also a patron to idealists such as Young England and the Spanish Carlists and helped organise the 1851 Great Exhibition.

In 1844 he was elected a member of the Royal Yacht Squadron, sailing the schooner Zephyretta.

In 1851 Hope married Anne Adele Bichat, having already had a daughter named Henrietta Adela with her in 1843.

The marriage legitimised Henrietta, who in 1861 married Lord Lincoln (later sixth Duke of Newcastle).
