Thomas Lutwyche

[1] He was a scholar at Westminster School, and was elected to Christ Church, Oxford, where he matriculated 4 July 1692, but took no degree.

Lutwyche was reluctant to enter politics, and did so in the end with the backing of Thomas Tufton, 6th Earl of Thanet.

However he was then returned as MP for Amersham on the Drake interest at a by-election on 23 February 1728 and was re-elected there at the 1734 general election.

[2] At the end of his life, in 1734, Lutwyche bought Wilderhope Manor from Thomas Smalman.

[2] Lutwyche left some manuscript law reports from the Queen's Bench.
