Uvedale Tomkins Price

Uvedale Tomkins Price (17 September 1685 – 17 March 1764),[1] of Poston Lodge and Foxley, Yazor, Herefordshire, was a British Tory and later Whig politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1713 and 1734.

[6] Price's father had been Member of Parliament for Weobley until he became Baron of the Exchequer in 1702 when he was succeeded in the seat by his elder son Thomas, who was then only 21 or 22.

[7] Thomas's career ended prematurely, as he died unmarried at Genoa in September 1706.

[8] Uvedale Price was returned as Tory MP for Weobley at the 1713 British general election, and, in Parliament, he probably acted in support of Oxford's administration.

[6] After a break, he was returned unopposed as MP for Weobley, as a Whig, at the 1727 British general election.
