Thomas Baker (attorney)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thomas Baker (c. 1680 – 1749) was a British attorney writer. He was active as a playwright in London in the first decade of the eighteenth century, penning The Fine Lady's Airs and other plays, then moved to Bedfordshire and lived there as a schoolmaster and vicar until his death in 1749. His successor at Bolnhurst, John Jones, remarked in private papers that he was "A man of strange turn, imperious and clamorous upon topics of no service towards the promoting of true religion in his parish, and not a little addicted to stiff and dividing principles".(M/s 39B101, Dr. Williams's Library)
