Thomas Levett (priest)
Rev. Thomas Levett (died 1843) served as rector of Whittington, Staffordshire, for 40 years, and as a large landowner in addition to being a clergyman, played a role in the development of Staffordshire's educational system. He was also a member of one of Staffordshire's longest-serving families in ecclesiastical circles, having produced three rectors of the parish of Whittington. The Levett family also produced members of parliament, High Sheriffs of Staffordshire, Lichfield town recorders and businessmen who were friends and contemporaries of Samuel Johnson, Erasmus Darwin, writer Anna Seward, actor David Garrick and other local luminaries. Several streets in Lichfield are named for the family.
==Biography==
Rev. Thomas Levett was the son of Thomas Levett of Packington Hall and nephew of John Levett, who sat for one term as a Tory Member of Parliament before he was recalled. Rev. Levett was the grandson of Theophilus Levett, Lichfield town clerk in the early eighteenth century.〔(Plantagenet Roll of the Blood Royal: The Isabel of Essex Volume, Marquis of Ruvigny, Raineval Staff, reprinted by Genealogical Publishing Company, 1994 )〕
