John Noel (7 November 1659 – 26 December 1718), of North Luffenham, Rutland was a British politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1711 and 1718.
[1] Noel was the 7th son of Baptist Noel, 3rd Viscount Campden, and his fourth wife Lady Elizabeth Bertie, daughter of Montague Bertie, 2nd Earl of Lindsey and was born on 7 November 1659.
[2] Elizabeth was the sister and coheir of Bennet Sherard, 1st Earl of Harborough, and had at least two children by Noel: Noel was one of several “noble persons” to have a Doctorate of Laws conferred on him at Cambridge University in the presence of Queen Anne on 16 April 1705.
[2] At the 1710 election Noel was returned as Member of Parliament for Rutland, standing as a Whig.
The Earl of Nottingham (Daniel Finch), leader of the Tory interest in the county, resolved to unseat him and following a Commons’ hearing lasting several long sittings, he was unseated in favour of the Tory Richard Halford .
