Sir Thomas Miller, 6th Baronet

Who was Sir Thomas Miller, 6th Baronet?

Sir Thomas Combe Miller, 6th Baronet, was an English clergyman and landowner. He was educated at St John's College, Cambridge.

The second but eldest surviving son of Sir Thomas Miller, 5th Baronet, Miller became a Church of England priest and Vicar of Froyle, Hampshire, in 1811. He was largely responsible for the rebuilding of the nave of the parish church in 1812. He had an elder brother, John Miller, who died in 1804, so in 1816 he inherited the family seat, Froyle Place, becoming both Vicar and Lord of the manor of Froyle. For many years he had a curate named Aubutin who took care of the stained glass in the church.

On 24 February 1820, when an election for the Hampshire county constituency was approaching, Miller wrote to George Purefoy-Jervoise, a successful candidate, to say that he would be away on polling day but would use his influence among his tenants to secure votes for Jervoise.

On 5 May 1824, Miller married Martha, daughter of the Rev. John Holmes.
