Thomas Leveson-Gower


Hon. Thomas Leveson-Gower was an English Tory politician from the Leveson-Gower family. He sat in parliament for Newcastle-under-Lyme from 1720 until his death.
He was the son of John Leveson-Gower, 1st Baron Gower and Lady Catherine Manners, daughter of John Manners, 1st Duke of Rutland and his third wife, Catherine Noel. Three of his brothers also served in parliament: John Leveson-Gower, 1st Earl Gower, William Leveson-Gower, and Baptist Leveson-Gower.
Leveson-Gower was educated at Christ Church, Oxford. In the 1722 general election, he was returned unopposed, on his family's interest. In May 1725, he was chosen a member of the committee "to manage the evidence" against former Lord Chancellor Thomas Parker, 1st Earl of Macclesfield, during his impeachment trial for corruption.
He died unmarried.
