Sir Edward Bayntun-Rolt, 1st Baronet

Sir Edward Bayntun-Rolt, 1st Baronet (1710–1800) was a British landowner and Whig politician who sat in the House of Commons for 43 years from 1737 to 1780.

[1] Bayntun-Rolt's estate brought him a major interest in the parliamentary seat at Chippenham.

He was returned as an opposition Whig Member of Parliament at a by-election on 22 June 1737.

The two defeated government candidates petitioned and the outcome became a trial of strength between Sir Robert Walpole and his opponents.

[1] Bayntun-Rolt was appointed a groom of the bedchamber to Frederick, Prince of Wales in 1745 but was dismissed in March 1746.
