Richard Reynell (c.1681–1734) of East Ogwell and Denbury, near Ashburton, Devon was an English landowner and Tory politician who sat in the English House of Commons from 1702 to 1708 and in the British House of Commons from 1711 to 1734.
Reynell was the third, but eldest surviving, son of Thomas Reynell of East Ogwell and his second wife Elizabeth Gould, daughter of James Gould, merchant, of Exeter, Devon, and London.
[1] At the 1702 general election, Reynell was returned unopposed as Member of Parliament for Ashburton.
He was listed among the ‘worthy patriots’ but later in the Parliament appeared to be a ‘whimsical’ Tory, showing sympathy with dissent.
The beneficiary of his will was his niece Rebecca Whitrow, the wife of Joseph Taylor.
