Sir Jonathan Cope, 1st Baronet

Sir Jonathan Cope, 1st Baronet (c. 1691 – 28 March 1765), was a British landowner and politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1713 to 1722.

He was educated at Eton College and matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford, on 18 February 1708 aged 16.

In Parliament, he voted against the government in all recorded divisions, and as a Tory, his name was sent to James Francis Edward Stuart, the Jacobite pretender to the British throne, as a potential supporter.

He did not stand at the 1722 general election and was succeeded at Banbury by his cousin Monoux Cope, of the disinherited line.

[1] Cope died at Orton Longueville, Huntingdonshire, on 28 March 1765, and was buried at Hanwell on 4 April 1765.
