Sir Henry Goring, 2nd Baronet (1 May 1622 – 3 April 1702) was an English barrister and politician.

Early life

Goring was the son of Henry Goring and Mary, daughter of Sir Thomas Eversfield, High Sheriff of Sussex.[1] His grandfather had acquired the manor of Highden, Washington, West Sussex in 1610 and Goring inherited it on his father's death in 1655.[2]

Career

Goring sat as Member of Parliament for Sussex from 1660 to 1661[1] and for Steyning in 1660 and again from 1661 to 1679.[1] In 1678 Sir James Bowyer surrendered his patent of baronetcy and secured a new patent with a remainder to Goring, who succeeded to the title with the precedency of the original patent two years later.[3][1]

Personal life

Goring married Frances (d. 1694), daughter of Sir Edward Bishopp and grandaughter of Nicholas Tufton, 1st Earl of Thanet in 1642.[1]

Goring died on 3 April 1702.[1] He was succeeded in the baronetcy by his grandson, Charles (d. 1713).[2]
