Adam Baynes

Adam Baynes

Adam Baynes was a MP for Leeds during the Commonwealth, and as such the first MP for the city. He was later also MP for Appleby. He is described as "an army agent of some influence at Whitehall". [http://www.archive.org/details/storyoftheenglis027638mbp The Story of English Towns - Leeds] J. S. Fletcher, Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, 1919]

Captain Baynes purchased Holdenby House. He demolished the massive house, which had been bought by James I, almost entirely, except for a small domestic wing.
