Thomas Arundell (of Duloe)

Thomas Arundell (died 1648) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1640 to 1648.

Arundell was the son of John Arundell of Trerice, Cornwall, and his wife Gertrude Dennys, daughter of Sir Robert Dennys of Holcombe.[1] He inherited property at Duloe from his father and extended it by further additions.[2] On 30 May 1614, he was granted all that parcel, quantity of ground, oze, or water, now surrounded by the said millpool-wall, to hold for 500 years, and afterwards built a millhouse, the mill-pool-wall, four grist-mills, and other houses.[3]

In November 1640, Arundell was elected Member of Parliament for West Looe in the Long Parliament.[4] Unlike his Royalist cousins he remained in parliament until his death in 1648.

Arundell died after November 1648, when he made his will.[3]

Arundell married Mary Capell, daughter of Sir Gamaliel Capell and had a daughter Gertrude.[1]
