Sir Timothy Shelley, 2nd Baronet (7 September 1753 – 24 April 1844) was an English politician and lawyer. He was the son of Sir Bysshe Shelley, 1st Baronet, and the father of Romantic poet and dramatist Percy Bysshe Shelley.
Early life and education
Timothy Shelley was the son of Sir Bysshe Shelley and his wife Mary Catherine Michell (1734–1760), daughter of the Reverend Theobald Michell and his wife Mary Tredcroft. He studied at University College, Oxford, and was awarded his bachelor's degree in 1778, his master's degree following in 1781. He then studied law at Lincoln's Inn.
Career
Shelley was elected as a member of parliament (MP) for Horsham, Sussex, at the 1790 general election, but an election petition was lodged and the result was overturned on 19 March 1792. He was elected as MP for New Shoreham at the 1802 general election. Shelley was re-elected for Shoreham in 1806, 1807, and 1812, and held the seat until he stood down at the 1818 general election.
He associated with the Duke of Norfolk during his time in the British political sphere.
