Overview

Thomas Knight (15 May 1735 – 23 October 1794) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons in two periods between 1761 and 1780. Knight was the son of Thomas Knight (previously known as Brodnax and May) of Godmersham and his wife Jane Monke. In 1761, Knight was elected Member of Parliament (MP) for New Romney and held the seat to 1768. In 1774 he was elected MP for Kent and held the seat until 1780. Knight succeeded to his father's estates in 1781, and greatly improved the seat and park of Godmersham.
