Sir John Eyles, 2nd Baronet (1683 – 11 March 1745) of Gidea Hall, Essex, was a British financier and politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1713 to 1734. He was Lord Mayor of London in 1726. Early lifeEyles was the second but eldest surviving son of Sir Francis Eyles, 1st Baronet, and his wife Elizabeth, daughter of London merchant Richard Ayley. He married his cousin, Mary Haskin Styles, the daughter of Joseph Haskin Stiles by Sarah Eyles, the daughter of Sir John Eyles, elder brother of the first baronet.[1] His younger brother was Joseph Eyles, MP. CareerEyles was a Director of the East India Company from 1710 to 1714. He was elected as Whig Member of Parliament for Chippenham at the 1713 general election.[2] From 1715 to 1717 he was a director of the Bank of England. He was elected MP for Chippenham again at the 1715 general election and voted consistently with the government. He succeeded to his father's baronetcy on 24 May 1716 and became Master of the Haberdashers Company and Alderman of Vintry on 19 June 1716.[3] Also in 1716, he was appointed one of the commissioners to oversee estates forfeited to the Crown during the unsuccessful Jacobite rising of 1715, a post he held until 1725.[4] From 1717 to 1721 Eyles served another term as Dirctor of the East India Company. He was appointed Sheriff of London for 1720.[1] He was also appointed a sub-governor of the South Sea Company in February 1721 in the aftermath of the South Sea Bubble. At the 1722 general election he was returned unopposed at Chippenham. He was knighted in December 1724 and served as Lord Mayor of London for the year 1726 to 1727. At the 1727 general election he was elected MP for the City of London.[2] At the 1734 general election Eyles did not stand for the City of London and was defeated at Chippenham.[2] He became alderman for Bridge Without (a ward previously represented by his father) from 22 July 1737.[3] He was also appointed president of St. Thomas's Hospital in 1737, and Joint Postmaster-General in 1739, holding both posts for the rest of his life.[1] Gidea HallEyles purchased the estate of Gidea Hall, in Havering, demolished the old mansion there in 1720, and built a new "elegant" house.[5] In 1731, Eyles was the dedicatee of George Lillo's tragedy The London Merchant, a play later excerpted in French by Abbé Prévost who had served as Sir John's secretary and tutor to his son Francis. Death and legacyEyles' wife died on 14 November 1735, and was buried at St Helen's Bishopsgate 9 days later. He died on 11 March 1745. Together they had two children, a boy and a girl and he was succeeded by his only son, Francis.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 Cokayne, George Edward (1906) [https://archive.org/details/cu31924092524416 Complete Baronetage].
