John Doyley (1602–1660) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1646 to 1648.
The House of Commons of England was the lower house of the Parliament of England from its development in the 14th century to the union of England and Scotland in 1707, when it was replaced by the House of Commons of Great Britain. In 1801, with the union of Great Britain and Ireland, that house was in turn replaced by the House of Commons of the United Kingdom.
Doyley was the son of Sir Cope Doyley of Chislehampton. He matriculated at Wadham College, Oxford on 27 November 1618 aged 16. [1] He was Sheriff of Oxfordshire in 1638. In 1646, he was elected Member of Parliament for Oxford as a recruiter to the Long Parliament but was secluded under Pride's Purge in December 1648. He was a parliamentary commissioner for the visitation of the University. [2]
Wadham College is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. It is located in the centre of Oxford, at the intersection of Broad Street and Parks Road.
The High Sheriff of Oxfordshire, in common with other counties, was originally the King's representative on taxation upholding the law in Saxon times. The word Sheriff evolved from 'shire-reeve'.
Oxford was a parliamentary constituency in the United Kingdom. It comprised the city of Oxford in the county of Oxfordshire, and elected two members of parliament from its creation in 1295 until 1885 when its representation was reduced to one member by the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885.
Doyley married Mary Shirley, daughter of Sir John Shirley of Isfield Sussex. [2] He was the father of Sir John D'Oyly, 1st Baronet, of Chislehampton. [1]
