Sir Henry Tichborne, 7th Bt.

Henry Tichborne (6 September 1756 – 14 June 1821) was the 7th Baronet Tichborne of Tichborne in Hampshire.

Early life He was born in 1756, the son of Sir Henry Tichborne, the 6th Baronet, and Mary (née Blount) Tichborne. With him in captivity were his fourth son, James Tichborne, and Henry Seymour of Knoyle, an English nobleman. Seymour had an affair with Felicity Dailly-Brimont, reputedly the illegitimate daughter of the Duc de Bourbon and his mistress Marie Claude Gaucher-Dailly which resulted in a daughter, Henriette Felicité (c1807–1868). She married James Tichborne in August 1827 and in 1829 gave birth to Roger Charles Doughty Tichborne, the grandson of Henry Tichborne, the 8th Baronet, and later to be the subject of the infamous Tichborne case.

Personal life On 8 March 1778 he married Elizabeth Lucy Plowden (1758–1829), the eldest daughter of Edmund Plowden of Plowden Hall in Plowden in Shropshire. The Plowdens, like the Tichborne's, were an old Catholic family. The couple had seven sons and a daughter. Their sons included:

Built by his father the 6th Baronet in 1760, in 1789 Tichborne sold the family estate of Frimley Manor to James Lawrell the elder for £20,000.

Sir Henry died on 14 June 1821. He is buried with his family in St Andrew's Church in Tichborne in Hampshire.
