John Swinfen (19 March 1613 – 12 April 1694) was an English politician [1] who sat in the House of Commons variously between 1645 and 1691. He supported the Parliamentary cause in a civil capacity in the English Civil War. Swinfen was probably the son of Richard Swinfen, of Swinfen, Staffordshire. He was educated at Pembroke College, Cambridge and graduated BA in 1632.[2] In 1645, Swinfen was elected Member of Parliament for Stafford in the Long Parliament.[3] He was excluded in Pride's Purge in 1648. He was one of the Parliamentary Commissioners for Staffordshire. In 1659, Swinfen was elected MP for Tamworth in the Third Protectorate Parliament.[3] He was elected MP for Stafford in 1660 in the Convention Parliament.[3] In 1661 he was elected MP for Tamworth for the Cavalier Parliament and sat until 1679. He was re-elected MP for Tamworth in 1681 and sat until 1685.[3] In 1690, he was elected MP for Bere Alston and sat until 1691.[3] Swinfen lived at Swinfen Hall near Freeford. He was commonly called " Russet-coat," from his affected plainness of dress.[4] He died at the age of 81 and was buried at Weeford, Staffordshire.[2] Swinfen married Ann Brandreth, daughter of John Brandreth and Jane Weston.[2] References1. ^ The History of Parliament Trust, SWINFEN (SWYNFEN), John (1613-94), of Swinfen, Weeford, Staffs retrieved December 2017 {{S-start}}{{s-par|en}}{{succession box2. ^1 2 {{acad|id=SWNN612J|name=Swinfen, John}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 History of Parliament Online - Swinfen, John 4. ^Handbook for travellers in Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, and Staffordshire | title=Member of Parliament for Stafford | before= Ralph Sneyd | before2= Richard Weston | with= Edward Leigh | years=1645–1648 | after= Not represented in the Rump Parliament }} | title=Member of Parliament for Tamworth | before= Not represented | with= Captain Thomas | years=1659 | after= Restored Rump }}{{S-end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Swinfen, John}} 13 : 1613 births|1694 deaths|Roundheads|Alumni of Pembroke College, Cambridge|People from Tamworth, Staffordshire|People from Stafford|English MPs 1640–1648|English MPs 1659|English MPs 1660|English MPs 1661–1679|English MPs 1679|English MPs 1681|English MPs 1690–1695 |
