Linton Thorp

Linton Theodore Thorp (21 February 1884 – 6 July 1950) was a British politician and judge.

Born in Marlow in Buckinghamshire, Thorp was educated at Manchester Grammar School and University College London.

He became a barrister at Lincoln's Inn in 1906, and from 1919 served as a judge overseas: firstly, in the Egyptian Supreme Court, then from 1921 until 1924 in the Ottoman Porte.

He later returned to the UK, was made a King's Counsel in 1932, and a bencher of Lincoln's Inn in 1936.

He was again unsuccessful when he stood as an independent with the backing of the pro-Nazi Liberty Restoration League in the 1937 Farnham by-election.
