Philip Wenman, 7th Viscount Wenman

[2] In August 1760, aged 18, he succeeded in the viscountcy and to Thame Park on the early death of his father.

The viscountcy was an Irish peerage and did not entitle him to a seat in the English House of Lords.

[3] In 1768 he was instead returned to the British House of Commons as a Knight of the Shire for Oxfordshire, a seat he held for the next 28 years.

[4] Lord Wenman married Lady Eleanor, fifth daughter of Willoughby Bertie, 3rd Earl of Abingdon, in 1766.

[3] Thame Park passed to his 10-year-old niece Sophia Elizabeth Wykeham, later created the 1st (and last) Baroness Wenman, who took up residence there.
