Thomas Legh FRS (c. 1793 – 8 May 1857) was a politician in England. Born about 1793 he was the oldest illegitimate son and heir of Thomas Peter Legh. He was educated at Brasenose College, Oxford. Thomas Legh travelled after leaving Oxford, he was in Egypt in 1812 and 1813 and published an account of his journey in 1816. He was Member of Parliament (MP) for the rotten borough of Newton in Lancashire from 16 April 1814, presumably this was the date he came of age, until the borough was disenfranchised at the 1832 general election.

  • Thomas Legh FRS (c. 1793 – 8 May 1857) was a politician in England. Born about 1793 he was the oldest illegitimate son and heir of Thomas Peter Legh. He was educated at Brasenose College, Oxford. Thomas Legh travelled after leaving Oxford, he was in Egypt in 1812 and 1813 and published an account of his journey in 1816. He was Member of Parliament (MP) for the rotten borough of Newton in Lancashire from 16 April 1814, presumably this was the date he came of age, until the borough was disenfranchised at the 1832 general election.
