John Bagshaw
John Bagshaw (1784 – 20 December 1861)[1] was a British Whig politician.
He was elected at the 1835 general election as Member of Parliament (MP) for Sudbury, having unsuccessfully contested the seat at a by-election in July 1834.[2] At the 1837 general election, he did not stand again in Sudbury, but contested Kidderminster unsuccessfully.[3] At the 1841 general election he stood instead in Harwich, but was not elected.[4] He won the seat in 1847, but was defeated in 1852. However, the election of his Conservative Party successor was voided on petition, and Bagshaw won the resulting by-election on 21 June 1853. After being re-elected in 1857,[4] he resigned his seat in the House of Commons on 9 March 1859, through appointment as Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds.[5]
