Mr. John Thomas Norris, M.P. for Abingdon, from a photograph by John Watkins, 1858. Creator: Unknown

Mr. John Thomas Norris, M.P. for Abingdon, from a photograph by John Watkins, 1858....member of Parliament for Abingdon, and well known in London as one of the most active members of the Common Council, was one of the new members returned to St. Stephen's at the last general election. He is one of the Commissioners of Lieutenancy for London, and a director of the Eastern Counties Railway, and either has or had a large share in the Railway Times. He is a papermaker in Oxfordshire and Berkshire. He is the youngest son of the late Mr. Edmund Norris, of Sutton Courtney, by Sally Maria, only daughter of Mr. William Henley, and was born in 1808. His name is particularly identified in London with the removal of Smithfield Market. He unsuccessfully contested Abingdon in December, 1854, when he was defeated by a small majority, but obtained the seat in March last year without a contest. He is a Liberal, in favour of further reform in Church and State, and more particularly advocates the abolition of church-rates'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858
