Sir John Shelley, 6th Baronet

Sir John Shelley, 6th Baronet (18 December 1771 – 28 March 1852) was an English landowner, Member of Parliament and amateur cricketer.

Shelley became 6th Baronet in September 1783 on the death of his father and inherited Michelgrove House near Patching, Sussex, which he was obliged to sell for financial reasons when he became of age.

He was also a notable breeder of Thoroughbred racehorses including The Derby winners Phantom (1811),[1] Cedric (1824)[1] and Priam (1830).

His wife, Frances Winkley, Lady Shelley (1787–1873), was a noted diarist and close friend of the Duke of Wellington.
