Philip Metcalfe

Philip Metcalfe (29 August 1733 – 10 August 1818) was a distiller in London, UK and member of Parliament from Horsham from 1784. He represented
Plympton Erle, Devon from 1790 to 1796 and Malmesbury Wiltshire from 1796.

He was also a collector and a patron of the arts, and a friend of Samuel Johnson. He sat for two portraits that are archived in the National Portrait Gallery: one by Pompeo Batoni and one by William Evans (after Edward Scott).

He served as an executor of the estate of painter Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723–1792), along with Edmund Burke and Edmond Malone.

Between 1815 and 1817 he erected a new mill, the Clock Mill at Three Mills.
