Thomas Robins Bolitho (1840–1925) was a Cornish banker and landowner who served as High Sheriff of Cornwall in 1890.
Bolitho was born on 13 September 1840[1] in Penzance, the son of Thomas Simon Bolitho (1808–1877) and Elizabeth Robins.[2] The Bolithos were an old Cornish family from Madron that found its fortune in trading and banking.[3] By 1885, they were known as the "merchant princes" of Cornwall.[4] He was educated at Harrow School and at Corpus Christi College, Oxford.[5]
He joined his family's banking company, Robins, Foster, Coode and Bolitho Co., in 1880,[6] and was a director from 1887; when that company was taken over by Barclays Bank in 1905, he became a director of the latter.[7] [8]
He was married to Augusta Jane Wilson on 30 June 1870, in Westminster.[9] In 1877, he inherited Trengwainton, a country house near Penzance, from his father.
He served as the High Sheriff of Cornwall in 1890.[10]
Bolitho retired from Barclays in 1918[8] and died on 28 September 1925,[11] without issue. He left Trengwainton to his nephew, Edward Hoblyn Warren Bolitho.
His cousin, Thomas Bedford Bolitho (1835–1915), a Liberal Unionist, was MP for St. Ives from 1887 to 1900.
