Sir Thomas Bishopp, 1st Baronet

Sir Thomas Bishopp, 1st Baronet (1553–1626), also spelt Bishop and Bisshopp, was an English politician.

He was the only son of Thomas Bishop of Henfield, Sussex and his wife, Elizabeth Belknap.

[2] He inherited a substantial estate, including the rectory and park at Henfield, the manors of Beeding, Drayton, Hunston, Stubcroft, and certain farms and stock including a flock of 1,000 sheep.

[1] He has been tentatively identified as the Thomas Byshope admitted to St John's College, Cambridge in 1562.

[4] Thomas Bishopp's connection with the Sackville family explains his swift promotion to office in Sussex, where he became a Justice of the Peace in 1578.
