Sir Thomas Skipwith, 4th Baronet

Sir Thomas George Skipwith, 4th Baronet (c. 1735 – 28 January 1790) of Newbold Revel Hall [1] was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1769 to 1784.

He was the eldest son of Sir Francis Skipwith, 3rd Baronet (c. 1705–1778), of Newbold Revel.

A former member of the Birmingham Bean Club, he had been recommended in 1764 as a sound Tory, but fell in with the Rockingham Whigs and voted consistently with that faction.

He had been given that seat by Sir John Honywood, but the two men fell out and Skipwith was not re-elected in 1784.

In 1785 he had married Selina, daughter of George Shirley and granddaughter of the 1st Earl Ferrers.
