Sir John Swinburne, 6th Baronet
Sir John Swinburne, 6th Baronet (6 March 1762 – 26 September 1860) was an English politician and patron of the arts.
==Life==
He was born at Bordeaux. The Swinburne family of Capheaton Hall was traditionally Roman Catholic and Jacobite, but at age 25 Swinburne inherited the baronetcy and went into politics as a Protestant Whig. He became Member of Parliament for Launceston in 1788.〔Philip Henderson, ''Swinburne: the portrait of a poet'' (1976), p. 6; (Google Books ).〕 There was a vacancy there, because the sitting MP George Rose had accepted an office under the Crown, and had to step down;〔(historyofparliamentonline.org, ''Launceston, 1754-1790'' ).〕 Swinburne from 1786 had intended to stand for Northumberland, but Hugh Percy, 2nd Duke of Northumberland managed his selection for the Cornwall constituency.〔Roland G. Thorne, ''The House of Commons 1790-1820'' (1986), p. 303; (Google Books ).〕 He went no further in Parliament, but remained a political leader in Northumberland, and an associate of Charles Grey who was elected for the constituency in 1786.〔(historyofparliamentonline.org, ''Percy, Hugh, Earl Percy (1785-1847)'' ).〕
Swinburne completed the work on the north front of Capheaton Hall envisaged by his father. It was carried out by William Newton.〔(Capheaton Hall site, ''History'' ).〕〔(Images of England page ).〕
He was a Fellow of the Royal Society, and Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London.〔''Philosophical Transactions'' Part 2 (1833), Royal Society of London, p. 48; (Google Books ).〕
