About Sir Thomas Dyke, 1st Baronet

Lived 1650 – 1706 (aged 55–56). Sir Thomas Dyke, 1st Baronet was an English politician.

Sir Thomas Dyke, 1st Baronet (c. 1650 – 31 October 1706) was an English Tory politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1685 and 1698.

Dyke was the son of Sir Thomas Dyke and his wife Catharine Bramstone, daughter of Sir John Bramstone, of Skreenes, Essex. He was educated at Westminster School and Christ Church, Oxford. He entered Middle Temple in 1667 and later travelled abroad. He lived at Horeham, in Sussex and was created a baronet, of Horeham in the County of Sussex, on 3 March 1677. During this period, as a high church Anglican, he was in disagreement with King James II, which caused an interruption to his term as J.P. and Deputy Lieutenant. He was commissioner of Public Accounts in 1696.

Dyke died aged 56.

Dyke married Philadelphia Nutt, the daughter of Thomas Nutt, of Selmeston, Sussex. Their son Thomas succeeded to the baronetcy and their daughter Philadelphia married Lewis Stephens, D.D.
