Thomas Lane (17th-century MP)

Thomas Lane (1582 – 31 December 1652) was an English lawyer and politician who sat in the House of Commons variously between 1625 and 1648.

Lane was educated at Clifford's Inn and was a bencher of the Inner Temple and lord of the manor of Greenford Parva.

He was re-elected in November 1640 to the Long Parliament and remained supporting the parliamentarian cause until ejected under Pride's Purge in 1648.

According to Heralds visitations, he was descended from the "Lane family of Thingdon and Orlingbury" in Northamptonshire.

[1] Lane died at the age of 70 and a memorial exists in the church of Greenford Parva (or Perivale).
