Sir Thomas Dyke Acland, 10th Baronet
- Sir Thomas Dyke Acland, 10th Baronet
Sir Thomas Dyke Acland, 10th Baronet (29 March 1787 – 22 July 1871), British politician, was born in London, the eldest son of Sir Thomas Dyke Acland, 9th Baronet. The Aclands were an old Devonshire family and successive generations of the family sat in the House of Commons for the county. He was educated at Oxford University where he gained a Doctor of Civil Laws degree. Although the Aclands were usually associated with the Liberal Party, this Acland was a Conservative. He sat for Devonshire from 1812 to 1818 and again from 1820 to 1831. He then sat for North Devon from 1837 to 1857.
His family had extensive properties on what is now the Holnicote Estate and particularly the village of Selworthy.
Among his many business interests Acland was the owner of a schooner called "The Lady of St Kilda", which he bought in 1834. In 1842 the schooner visited the township of Melbourne in Australia, which had been founded in 1835. As a result of that visit, the suburb of St Kilda was named for the ship, and Acland St, one of St Kilda's main commercial centres, was named after Acland.
A new baronetcy was created for his fourth son, Sir Henry Acland, 1st Baronet.
