Biography

Philip Wenman, 6th Viscount Wenman (23 November 1719 – 16 August 1760), was a British landowner and politician.

Wenman was the elder son of Richard Wenman, 5th Viscount Wenman, by Susanna, daughter of Seymour Wroughton, of Heskett. He succeeded his father in the viscountcy in 1729, aged eleven. This was an Irish peerage and did not entitle him to a seat in the English House of Lords.

Education

He was educated at John Roysse's Free School in Abingdon (now Abingdon School) from 1731–1737. He was a Steward of the OA Club in 1744.

Career

In 1749 he was instead returned to the House of Commons for the city of Oxford, a seat he held until 1754. The latter year he was returned as a Tory for Oxfordshire in a bitterly contested election. However, there was a double return, and in April 1755 Lord Parker and Sir Edward Turner, the Whig were declared elected in favour of Wenman and Sir James Dashwood.

Lord Wenman married Sophia, eldest daughter and co-heir of James Herbert, of Tythorpe, Oxfordshire, in 1741. They had four sons and three daughters. Their second son was Thomas Wenman. Wenman died in August 1760, aged 40, and was succeeded in the viscountcy by his eldest son, Philip.
