Dorset (UK Parliament Constituency)
Dorset was a county constituency covering Dorset in southern England, which elected two Members of Parliament (MPs), traditionally known as knights of the shire, to the House of Commons of England from 1290 until 1707, to the House of Commons of Great Britain from 1707 to 1800, and to the House of Commons of the United Kingdom until 1832. The Great Reform Act increased its representation to three MPs with effect from the 1832 general election, and under the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885 the constituency was abolished for the 1885 election, and replaced by four single-member divisions: North Dorset, South Dorset, East Dorset and West Dorset. When elections were contested, the bloc vote system was used, but contests were rare. Even after the 1832 Reforms, only three of the nineteen elections before 1885 were contested; in the others, the nominated candidates were returned without a vote.

John Horsey (died 1546)
Sir John Horsey (died 23 December 1546) was a knight of Henry VIII and Lord of the Manor of Clifton Maubank. He was also a friend of the poet Thomas Wyatt. He was born the son of Sir John Horsey (died 8 July 1531) and Elizabeth Turges. He married Joan Mawdley by whom he had two sons, Sir John Horsey (1510-64/65) and Roger Horsey, and two daughters, Mary and Joan, or according to Rogers, Elizabeth and Eleanor. He served as a justice of the peace in Somerset and Dorset, and served as Sheriff for those counties for 1537 and 1544. He was elected knight of the shire (MP) for Dorset in 1539. When Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries in the 16th century, Sir John, intending to collect a large share of the monastic property from the Crown, bribed Thomas Cromwell, 1st Earl of Essex to appoint the compliant John Barnstable Abbot of Sherborne Abbey. John Barnstable was accordingly elected on 31 May 1535, and subsequently surrendered the monastery on 18 March 1539. The deed was ackno ...

John Horsey (died 1564)
Sir John Horsey JP (died 30 January 1564) was a knight of Henry VIII (knighted 22 February 1546) and Lord of the Manors of Clifton Maubank and South Perrott. He was the son of Sir John Horsey (died 1546) and Joan Mawdley. He inherited most of his fathers lands, and the wording of the will suggests that the two were not close and the son was regarded as untrustworthy. He eventually became addicted to gambling, and this along with his extravagant construction projects was a large drain on the family coffers. Sir John married Edith Phelips, daughter of Sir Richard Phelips and widow of the merchant John Stocker of Poole, on 14 December 1539, and in 1546 the family estate, Clifton Maybank on the south side of Yeovil (in which his father's friend, the poet Sir Thomas Wyatt, died on 11 October 1542), was largely rebuilt to create a mansion of grand proportions. An entrance to the newly built mansion had intricate stone carving around the doorway, celebrating their marriage; this ent ...
