Biography

Whitmore was the son of Sir William Whitmore of Apley Hall, Shropshire, and his second wife Dorothy Weld, daughter of John Weld of London. His father was High Sheriff of Shropshire in 1620, [1] and elder brother of Sir George Whitmore (d.1654), Lord Mayor of London.[2]

In April 1640, Whitmore was elected Member of Parliament for Bridgnorth for the Short Parliament.[3] He was re-elected in November 1640 in the Long Parliament and held the seat until 1644 when he was disabled for supporting the King.[4] He was created a baronet, of Apley, on 28 June 1641.[1]

In February, 1645, Whitmore's home Apley Hall was taken by the Parliamentarians under Sir John Price. Whitmore and his father, Sir Francis Oatley, Mr. Owen, and about sixty men, were captured. Their estates and moveable property were sequestered by the county's Sequestration Committee and they were held in confinement for a considerable time.[5]

Whitmore died at the age of 41. He was succeeded in the baronetcy by his son William.

gollark: I *think* once you create a 3D object around a center point its origin is fixed until you recenter it, but obviously you can move.

gollark: I think you don't actually have enough data to. Unless you constantly use GPS.
