Thomas Gascoigne (academic)
Thomas Gascoigne (1404–1458) was an English medieval theologian and academic administrator. He was twice Vice-Chancellor and twice Chancellor of Oxford University. Thomas was born in Hunslet, near Leeds, only son to the lord of the manor at Leeds, Richard Gasgoigne and his wife Beatrix. Thomas's inheritance on Richard's death in 1422 gave him a reasonable degree of financial security throughout his life. He studied at Oxford from 1416 to 1420; was ordained a priest in 1427; and was appointed to the rectory of Kirk Deighton (about 15 miles north-west of Hunslet) in July 1433 (from which he resigned in 1443, apparently because his duties at Oxford prevented him from fulfilling pastoral duties in the rectory). He maintained his Oxford connections, however, and on 14 June 1434 he became a Doctor of Theology, serving as vice-chancellor and chancellor of the university at various points between 1439–45 and again, during a break between Chancellors, in 1453. Thus his career was focuse ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sir Thomas Gascoigne, 8th Baronet
Sir Thomas Gascoigne, 8th Baronet (7 March 1745 – 11 February 1810) was born on 7 March 1745 on the Continent into a devout Catholic gentry family based in Yorkshire. Despite receiving a solid Catholic education at institutions in northern France and Italy, Gascoigne would later renounce his religion to become a Foxite Whig Member of Parliament. Prior to his apostasy, he travelled extensively as a Grand Tourist throughout much of Spain, France and Italy in the company of the noted travel writer Henry Swinburne, who would later record their journeys in two popular travel guides ''Travels through Spain in the Years 1775 and 1776'' (1779) and ''Travels in the Two Sicilies, 1777–1780'' (1783–5). Together they gained close access to the leading courts of Europe, particularly in Spain and Naples. An honorary member of the Board of Agriculture, Gascoigne was an important advocate of agricultural reform as well as a considerable coal owner who helped pioneer technological developm ...

Thomas Gascoigne (businessman)
Thomas Gascoigne (7 January 1786 – October 1809) was a Yorkshire land and coal-owner. He was the son of Sir Thomas Gascoigne, 8th Baronet of Parlington Hall, Aberford, Yorkshire. He was the owner of the mines in the Aberford and Garforth area and the Lotherton Hall Estate in Aberford. He died either 13 and 20 October 1809 when he suffered a fatal accident whilst hunting. He was buried on 28 October 1809 at Barwick-in-Elmet and over 2,000 people and over 400 of his father's tenants attended his funeral. Lotherton passed to his niece Elizabeth Oliver Gascoigne, who had married Frederick Mason Trench, 2nd Baron Ashtown. Thomas had predeceased his father, who died the following year, and so Parlington Hall passed instead to his step-sister Mary, who had married Richard Oliver of County Limerick.
