Thomas Greene (19 January 1794 – 8 August 1872)[1] was a British Peelite, Conservative and Tory politician.[2][3][4][5][6]
Greene was first elected Tory MP for Lancaster at a by-election in 1824 and held the seat until 1852—becoming a Conservative in 1834, and a Peelite around 1847. He later regained the seat at a by-election in 1853—caused by the unseating of Robert Baynes Armstrong due to corruption and bribery—but stood down at the next election in 1857.[7][8]
