William Moore (Banbury MP)

William Moore (4 June 1699 – 26 October 1746) of Polesden Lacey, Surrey, was a British politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1740 to 1746.

[1] Moore was returned as Member of Parliament for Banbury at a by-election on 25 November 1740 by his friend Francis North, 1st Earl of Guilford.

He voted against the Administration in all recorded divisions except for the motion for removing Walpole in February 1741.

[1] Moore died on 26 October 1746, and left his estates to North's son Frederick, the future prime minister, whose trustees sold Polesden Lacey a year later for £5,500 to pay the debts encumbering the estate.
