Sir Thomas Tipping (1614–1 March 1693) was a prominent Parliamentarian during the English Civil War.
He was baptised in Wheatfield parish church on 10 December 1615, but his father died when he was only four years old.
However, upon the Restoration, he embraced reconciliation and Charles II created him a Knight Bachelor at Whitehall Palace on 15 June 1660.
To commemorate this event portraits were painted of Sir Thomas and Lady Tipping by Gilbert Soest.
Both, for many years, hung in Bramshill House in Hampshire, home of their descendants, the Cope family.
