Sir Thomas Reade, 4th Baronet

Sir Thomas Reade, 4th Baronet (c. 1684 – 1752) of Shipton Court, Oxfordshire was a British courtier and Whig politician who sat in the House of Commons for 34 years from 1713 to 1747.

He succeeded to the baronetcy and Shipton Court on the death of his elder brother, Sir Winwood Reade, 3rd Baronet, on 30 June 1692.

[1] Reade first stood for Parliament at a by-election for Oxfordshire in February 1710 and was heavily defeated.

Reade died on 25 September 1752, and was referred to by Henry Pelham as ‘an old servant of the King’s, and a very honest man, but he has been declining for many years’.
