John Douglas (died 1838)

John Douglas (1 February 1774 31 July 1838)[1] was an English Tory politician. He was the son of Thomas Douglas of Grantham, a wealthy landowner, and Harriot Lucke.

He was a Member of Parliament (MP) for Orford 1818 - April 1821 and for Minehead 12 April 1822 - 1826.

To escape his creditors, Douglas, a Turf enthusiast, went to Sweden where his brother-in-law, Benjamin Bloomfield, 1st Baron Bloomfield, was envoy, remaining there to 1835.[2]
