Thomas Charlton Whitmore

Thomas Charlton Whitmore (5 January 1807 – 13 March 1865) was an English Conservative politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1832 to 1852.

[2] Whitmore vigorously opposed the construction of the Severn Valley Railway whose proposed route ran through the Apley Park estate,[3] and was consequently involved in extensive legal battles with the Severn Valley Railway Company.

[4] The railway opened in 1862 after the Company agreed to pay Whitmore £14,000 compensation and £150 per acre for the land purchased, and also to provide a station to serve the estate.
