Sir Jeremy Sambrooke, 4th Baronet
Sir Jeremy Sambrooke, 4th Baronet (c. 1703–1740) of Bush Hill, Enfield, Middlesex, was a British landowner and Tory politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1731 to 1740.
Sambrooke was the only son of Sir Samuel Sambrooke, 3rd Baronet MP, and his wife Elizabeth Wright, daughter of Sir Nathan Wright of Caldecote, Warwickshire., Lord keeper of the great seal. He succeeded his father to the baronetcy on 27 December 1714. His father had succeeded to the baronetcy under special remainder on the death of his maternal uncle Sir John Vanacker, 2nd Baronet.[1] After attending the school of Dr. Uvedale at Enfield, Sambrooke was admitted at Inner Temple probably in 1716 and at Trinity College, Cambridge on 7 July 1720, aged 17, where he was awarded MA in 1722[2].
Having acquired considerable estates in the north of Bedfordshire from 1719, Sambrooke stood as a Tory at several by-elections, but was unsuccessful at Queenborough in February 1728, Wendover in March 1728, and Queenborough again in January 1729. However, he was returned as Member of Parliament for Bedford at a by-election on 30 January 1731, with the support of Wriothesley Russell, 3rd Duke of Bedford and by spending lavishly. He was returned unopposed at the 1734 British general election, and voted against the Administration in all recorded divisions.[3]
Sambrooke died unmarried on 5 July 1740.[3]
