Sir Thomas Allen, 1st Baronet (c. 1633 – 15 December 1690)[1] also spelt Aleyn or Alleyn, was an English politician and grocer.
He was the son of William Aleyn and his wife Elizabeth Compton, daughter of William Compton, and was educated at
Restoration of the monarchy.[4] Allen was knighted on the king's visit[3] and two weeks later, on 14 June, he was created a baronet, of London, in the County of Middlesex.[5] In 1673, he was admitted to Gray's Inn[6] and in 1676, he became Master of the Worshipful Company of Grocers.[7]
Around 1648, he married Elizabeth Birch, and had by her a son.[2] Allen died in 1690 and was buried in Totteridge.[3] He was succeeded in the baronetcy by his son Thomas[1] (1648–1730), who married Elizabeth Angell but had no children. On his death the baronetcy became extinct.[8]
