Edmund Pytts (died 1781)

Edmund Pytts (23 February 1729 – 13 December 1781) was a British Tory politician, MP for Worcestershire 1753–1761.

Pytts was the son of Edmund Pytts MP and Susanna Collet.[1] He may have been educated at Eton College 1742–45, and entered Lincoln's Inn in 1745.[1]

Pytts' grandfather Samuel Pytts and father Edmund Pytts had both served as MP for Worcestershire. Following his father's death in 1753, he was elected unopposed to succeed him in a by-election, and re-elected unopposed in 1754. He did not stand in 1761, nor in any subsequent election.[1]

He served as the High Sheriff of Worcestershire 1771–72.[1][2]

Pytts inherited the family manor at Kyre Park, Worcestershire, owned by the Pytts family since 1575. He conveyed the property to his brother Jonathan some time before his death.[2]

He died on 13 December 1781.[1]
