Sir John Shelley, 7th Baronet
John Villiers Shelley (18 March 1808 – 28 January 1867)[1] was an English Tory politician.
He was elected at the 1830 general election as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Gatton[2] in Surrey, then at the 1831 general election as an MP for Great Grimsby,[3] but did not contest the seat at the 1832 general election.[3]
He did not stand again until he unsuccessfully contested the 1841 general election in East Sussex.[4]
Shelley returned to the Commons after a twenty-year absence when he was elected at the 1852 general election as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Westminster,[5] where he was re-elected in 1857 and 1859. He did not stand again in Westminster at the 1865 general election, when he contested Bridgwater, but without success.[6]
On the death of the 6th Baronet on 28 March 1852 he became the 7th Baronet Shelley of Michelgrove.[1]
