Thomas Minors (16 October 1609 – September 1677) was an English merchant and politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1654 and 1660.
He did not take part in the Civil War, while the city was held by the Royalists, but he was a Presbyterian and probably supported the parliamentarian cause.
In 1660 he was initially defeated as MP for Lichfield but won the seat again on petition in June 1660.
In his will he left the property with land as an endowment "... a school house, wherein may be taught thirty poor boys to spell and read English until they could well read chapters in the bible, without any reward from parents or friends".
[3] He died at the age of 67 and was buried in St Mary's church, Lichfield on 30 September 1677.
