BATHURST, EARLS . ALLEN BATHURST, 1st
Earl
  Bathurst (1684-1775), was the eldest son of Sir Benjamin Bathurst (d. 1704), by his wife, Frances (d. 1727), daughter of Sir Allen Apsley of Apsley, Sussex, and belonged to a family which is said to have settled in Sussex before the Norman Conquest. He was educated at Trinity College,
Oxford
 , and became member of
parliament
  for Cirencester in May 1705, retaining his seat until December 1711, when he was created Baron Bathurst of Battles-den, Bedfordshire. As a zealous Tory he defended Atterbury,
bishop
  of Rochester, and in the
House
  of Lords was an opponent of Sir Robert Walpole. After Walpole left office in 1742 he was made a privy councillor, and in August 1772 was created
Earl
 
Bathurst, having previously received a pension of 2000 a year chargeable upon the Irish revenues. He died on the 16th of September 1775, and was buried in Cirencester church. In July 1704 Bathurst married his
cousin
 , Catherine (d. 1768), daughter of Sir Peter Apsley, by whom he had four sons and five daughters. The earl associated with the poets and scholars of the time.
Pope
 , Swift, Prior, Sterne, and
Congreve
  were among his friends. He is described in Sterne's Letters to Eliza; was the subject of a graceful reference on the part of
Burke
  speaking in the
House
  of Commons; and the letters which passed between him and
Pope
  are published in Pope's Works, vol. viii. (London, 1872).
