Henry Scrope (died 1625)

Henry Scrope (ca. 1570–1625), of Greenwich, Kent, was an English politician.[1]

He was the younger son of Henry Scrope, 9th Baron Scrope of Bolton and his second wife Margaret, daughter of Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey.[1] He matriculated at Emmanuel College, Cambridge in 1585 and attained a MA in 1588[2] the year he was admitted to Gray's Inn.[3]

He held land in Easby, Richmondshire and Ewcott Grange, Whitby.[4] Through his family's influence he was a Member (MP) of the Parliament of England for Carlisle in 1589, 1593, 1597 and 1601.[1] He was in Venice in 1593, from where he wrote to the Earl of Essex.[1] In 1597 his brother feared that due to the 'course that he takes', he would not live long.[1]

He never married and died at Greenwich in October 1625.[4]
