Sir Thomas Cave, 7th Baronet (6 October 1766 – 15 January 1792) was a British politician.
Early life
The son of Sir Thomas Cave, 6th Baronet and Sarah Edwards, he succeeded to his father's baronetcy in 1780. Cave was educated at the Christ Church, Oxford, where he matriculated in 1785.[1]
Career
His grandfather had represented Leicestershire in the Parliament of 1741, before Cave was chosen in 1790, on the retirement of John Peach-Hungerford, on the same independent interest through the support of Lord Harborough, his future father-in-law.[2] Cave made no mark in Parliament, where he supported Pitt, and was listed hostile to the repeal of the Test Act in Scotland in April 1791.[2]
