Sir John Walter, 3rd Baronet (c. 1674–1722) of Sarsden House, Oxfordshire was a British politician who sat in the English House of Commons between 1694 and 1717 and in the British House of Commons from 1708 to 1722. BiographyWalter was the eldest surviving son of Sir William Walter, 2nd Baronet and his first wife Mary Tufton, daughter of John Tufton, 2nd Earl of Thanet. He matriculated at Queen's College, Oxford on 2l August 1691.[1] On 5 March 1694 he succeeded his father to the estates and the baronetcy. He married. Elizabeth Vernon, daughter of Sir Thomas Vernon merchant and MP of London in about 1700.[2] Walter was returned as Member of Parliament for Appleby at a by-election on 13 December 1694 on the interest of his uncle Thomas Tufton, 6th Earl of Thanet. He did not stand at the general election of 1695 but was returned again for Appleby at a by-election on 23 December 1697 and then at the general election of 1700. He was defeated at Appleby at the first general election of 1701 and did not stand there again. He stood unsuccessfully at Woodstock in 1705 and was elected MP for Oxford at a by-election on 11 December 1706. He was returned unopposed there in 1708 and 1710. In 1711 he was appointed Clerk of the Green Cloth and held the post until 1714. He was returned unopposed for Oxford again at the 1713 general election.[3] He was returned unopposed as a Tory for Oxford in 1715 and 1722. He voted against the Administration in every recorded division [4] Private lifeWalter was a bon viveur who enjoyed drinking (particularly fine French wines), smart fashion, gambling and horse racing and was a popular socialite. His friend Jonathan Swift described him as ”an honest drunken fellow”. However his extravagance forced him to sell off property to pay his debts.[3] Walter died on 11 June 1722 and was buried at Sarsden. His marriage had been childless and he was succeeded in the baronetcy by his half-brother Robert. He left the Sarsden estate to his wife with reversion to Robert upon her death. He also left £1,000 to his friend Lord Harcourt who in 1724 married Walter's widow. The baronetcy became extinct in 1731 when Sir Robert died childless, and the estate then became caught up in a protracted Chancery suit.[3] References1. ^{{cite web| url= https://www.british-history.ac.uk/alumni-oxon/1500-1714/pp1550-1577 | title = 'Waad-Warwright', in Alumni Oxonienses 1500-1714, ed.
