Popham was the son of Sir Francis Popham of Littlecote House and his wife Anne Dudley, daughter of John Dudley of Stoke Newington.[1] In 1628, he was elected Member of Parliament for Bath and sat until 1629 when King Charles decided to rule without parliament for eleven years.[2]

Popham died in or about January 1638 and was buried at Littlecote with great pomp.[1]

Popham married Mary Harvey, daughter of Sir St. Sebastian Harvey in 1621 but had no issue.[1]
