Sir John Barrington, 9th Baronet
Sir John Barrington, 9th Baronet (8 December 1752 – 5 August 1818) was a British politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1780 to 1796.
Born at Red Lion Street in London and baptised at St Andrew, Holborn,[1] Barrington was the eldest son of Sir Fitzwilliam Barrington, 8th Baronet and his wife Jane Hall, daughter of Matthew Hall.[2] He was educated at Eton College from 1761 to 1770 and entered Trinity Hall, Cambridge in 1771.[3][4] In 1792, he succeeded his father as baronet.[2]
Barrington entered Parliament at the 1780 general election, sitting as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Newtown, the same constituency his uncle John had before represented. He was re-elected in 1784 and 1790. He decided not to stand at the 1796 general election.[4]
Barrington died unmarried aged 66 at his seat Barrington Hall, Essex on 5 August 1818.[5] and was buried at St Mary the Virgin, Hatfield Broadoak.[1] He was succeeded in the baronetcy by his younger brother Fitzwilliam.[6]
