Sir Hugh Beeston (ca. 1547{{spaced ndash}}February 1626) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1589 and 1614. Beeston was the second son of Sir George Beeston of Beeston and his first wife. Sir George baptised both his two eldest sons Hugh which leads to confusion. Hugh Beeston was awarded BA at Oxford University in 1563 and entered Lincoln's Inn in 1565. This is taken to be the younger Hugh who was deputy comptroller for Cheshire and Flintshire in 1585 and in 1589. It is likely that he was also the Member of Parliament for several constituencies that were open to court influence. In 1589, he was elected Member of Parliament for Bodmin. He was J.P. for Cheshire from about 1592. In 1593 he was elected MP for West Looe in 1593.[1] Beeston was granted the estate of Plas Cadwgan, Denbighshire after its owner, Edward Jones, was executed for involvement in the Babington plot, and it became his main residence. By April 1595 he was receiver general of the revenue in the Exchequer for Cheshire and North Wales. He became JP for Denbighshire in 1596. In 1597 he was elected MP for Knaresborough and in 1601 he was elected MP for Winchelsea. He was knighted in 1603. In 1604 he was elected MP for New Shoreham. He succeeded to the estates of Beeston on the death of his brother in 1608. In 1614 he was elected MP for Liverpool.[1] Beeston died at the age of about 78.[1] He had married Margaret Worth, widow of Philip Worth of Titherington and daughter of Roger Downes. They had two sons and a daughter.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 History of Parliament Online - Hugh Beeston {{s-start}}{{s-par|en}}{{succession box| title=Member of Parliament for Bodmin | before= Emmanuel Chamond | before2= Brutus Browne | with= Emmanuel Chamond | years=1589 | after= Anthony Bennet | after2= Richard Cannock }}{{succession box | title=Member of Parliament for West Looe | before= Matthew Patteson | before2= Robert Sanderson | with= John Shelbury | years=1593 | after= Robert Hitcham | after2= Sir Henry Lennard }} | title=Member of Parliament for Knaresborough | before= Samuel Foxe | before2= Simon Willis | with= William Slingsby | years=1597 | after= Henry Slingsby | after2= William Slingsby }} | title=Member of Parliament for Winchelsea | before= Ralph Ewens | before2 = Thomas Colepeper | with= Moyle Finch | years= 1601 | after= Adam White | after2= Thomas Unton }}{{succession box | title=Member of Parliament for New Shoreham | before= John Morley | before2= Robert Booth | with= Sir Bernard Whetston | years= 1604–1611 | after= Lord Howard of Effingham | after2= Thomas Shelley }} | title=Member of Parliament for Liverpool | before= Giles Brook | before2= Thomas Remchinge | with= Thomas Ireland | years= 1614 | after= Thomas May | after2= William Johnson }}{{s-end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Beeston, Hugh}} 12 : 1547 births|1626 deaths|Members of the pre-1707 English Parliament for constituencies in Cornwall|Alumni of the University of Oxford|Year of birth uncertain|People of the Tudor period|People of the Stuart period|English MPs 1589|English MPs 1593|English MPs 1597–1598|English MPs 1604–1611|English MPs 1614 |
