In 1624, More was elected Member of Parliament for Haslemere. He was re-elected MP for Haslemere in 1625 and 1626. In 1628 he was elected MP for Guildford and sat until 1629 when Charles I decided to rule without parliament for eleven years.[2]
In November 1640, More was re-elected MP for Haslemere in the Long Parliament.[2] He was created a baronet in 1642. He sat in parliament until his death in 1649.
