Vernon's home: Ardington House, near Wantage in Berkshire.
Leicester Viney Vernon (1798 – 14 April 1860)[1] was a British Conservative Party politician from Berkshire.
He was originally Leicester Viney Smith.[2] Elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Chatham in Kent a by-election in June 1853,[3][4] after the result of the 1852 general election in the constituency were overturned on petition.[4] Vernon's by-election victory was itself the subject of a petition, which he did not defend,[5] but the petition was subsequently withdrawn.[6]
At the next general election, in 1857, he stood instead in Berkshire, where did not win a seat.[7] He was returned to the House of Commons after a two-year absence at the 1859 general election, when Berkshire's 3 MPs were elected unopposed.[7] He died the following year, aged 61.[8]
From his uncle Robert Vernon he inherited Ardington House, in Ardington, Berkshire.[9]
