Thomas Benyon

Thomas Benyon

Thomas Yates Benyon (born 13 August 1942) is a British Conservative Party politician.

After the murder of Airey Neave, Benyon became the new candidate to be Member of Parliament (MP) for the Conservative stronghold of Abingdon in 1979 - which he won with ease. However, in 1983, the seat was abolished in boundary changes - and Benyon has not been an MP since.

In 2005 he was elected for a five year term, as a lay representative of the Diocese of Oxford, to the General Synod of the Church of England.
