William Northmore (1690–1735), of Northmore House, Okehampton and Cleve, near Exeter, Devon, was a British landowner and Tory politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1713 and 1735.
Northmore House, built in 1685 is now the Town Hall in Okehampton
Northmore, who was baptized on 1 July 1690, was the only son of William Northmore of Throwleigh, near Okehampton, and his wife Anne Hutton, daughter of Rev. William Hutton, sometime rector of Northlew, near Okehampton, and of St. Kew, Cornwall. He married, by a settlement dated 25 August 1711, his cousin Anne Northmore, daughter of Thomas Northmore of Cleve. In 1713 he inherited Cleve from his uncle and father-in-law, who held many of the Monck estates in mortgage and directed in his will that they be sold for the benefit of his nephew and his wife.[1]
Northmore succeeded his father in 1716. His first wife Anne died in 1717 and he married Florence Chichester as his second wife in May 1720. Florence was a daughter of Sir Arthur Chichester, 3rd Baronet. He did not stand at the 1722 British general election. Florence died in 1726.
