Edward Rushworth (17 October 1755 – 15 October 1817)[1][2] was a British clergyman on the Isle of Wight, and a token politician. Rushworth was the oldest son of Royal Navy Captain John Rushworth of Portsea in Hampshire. Educated at Winchester College and at Trinity College, Oxford, he became a deacon at Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight. In 1780 he married Catherine Holmes, daughter Reverend Leonard Holmes (later the 1st Baron Holmes). His father-in-law was the patron of both the parliamentary boroughs on the island. He was a Member of Parliament (MP) for the two boroughs on the Isle of Wight for several periods between 1780 and 1797. He was MP for Yarmouth from 1781 to 1781,[1] for Newport from 1784 to 1790,[2] for Yarmouth in 1790, and for Yarmouth again from 1796 to 1797.[1] He appears to have held the seats only as a place-holder, and did not take part in any parliamentary proceedings.
