Sir Benjamin Hammet (c. 1736 – 22 July 1800) was an English businessman, banker and politician, who served as Member of Parliament from Taunton (1782–1800), and as High Sheriff of London. Contemporary accounts state that he was a footman, son of a Taunton barber, who courted and married Louisa Esdaile, the sister-in-law of his master John 'Vulture' Hopkins. Louisa was the daughter of Sir James Esdaile, a rich banker; and Hammet's success as a banker and building contractor was credited to the influence and funding provided by his father-in-law, who on the occasion of their marriage settled £5,000 on the bride.

  • Sir Benjamin Hammet (c. 1736 – 22 July 1800) was an English businessman, banker and politician, who served as Member of Parliament from Taunton (1782–1800), and as High Sheriff of London. Contemporary accounts state that he was a footman, son of a Taunton barber, who courted and married Louisa Esdaile, the sister-in-law of his master John 'Vulture' Hopkins. Louisa was the daughter of Sir James Esdaile, a rich banker; and Hammet's success as a banker and building contractor was credited to the influence and funding provided by his father-in-law, who on the occasion of their marriage settled £5,000 on the bride. Hammet was elected as Lord Mayor of London (a title which his father-in-law had held previously) in 1797, but paid a £1,000 penalty rather than serve (pleading ill health). He died 22 July 1800 at Castle Maelgwyn, his Welsh estate. Upon his death, his son succeeded him as M.P., and would hold that seat until his own death in 1811. (en)
  • Sir Benjamin Hammet (c. 1736 - 22 de julho de 1800) foi um empresário inglês, banqueiro e político, que serviu como membro do Parlamento por Taunton (1782-1800) e como alto xerife de Londres. Relatos contemporâneos afirmam que ele era um lacaio, filho de um barbeiro de Taunton, que cortejou e casou-se com Louisa Esdaile, a cunhada do seu mestre John 'Vulture' Hopkins. Louisa era filha de Sir James Esdaile, um rico banqueiro; e o sucesso de Hammet como banqueiro e empreiteiro foi atribuído à influência e ao financiamento fornecido pelo seu sogro, que por ocasião do casamento pagou 5.000 libras pela noiva. Hammet foi eleito Lord Mayor de Londres (um título que o seu sogro tinha anteriormente) em 1797, mas pagou uma multa de £ 1,000 em vez de servir (alegando problemas de saúde). Ele morreu em 22 de julho de 1800 no Castelo Maelgwyn, a sua propriedade no País de Gales. Após a sua morte, seu filho sucedeu-o como MP, e ocupou esse cargo até à sua própria morte em 1811. (pt)
