Cuthbert Rippon

Cuthbert Rippon (29 April 1797 – 14 April 1867) was a British politician.

Rippon was the son of a wealthy stockbroker, who bought several estates in County Durham. Cuthbert lived at Stanhope Castle.

Rippon stood at Gateshead at the 1832 UK general election, and was elected as a Whig. On the radical wing of the party, he supported three-year parliaments, the abolition of tithes and all monopolies, the removal of bishops from the House of Lords, and of clergy from automatically qualifying as magistrates.

Rippon was re-elected at the 1835 and 1837 UK general elections, and stood down in 1841.
