Sir Thomas John Tyrwhitt-Jones, 2nd Baronet (12 July 1793 – 5 October 1839) of Stanley Hall, Shropshire, was a British politician.

Tyrwhitt-Jones was born on 12 July 1793 at Portland Place, Middlesex.^[1] He was the eldest son of Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt-Jones, 1st Baronet and Harriet Rebecca Williams (daughter of Edward Williams of Eaton Mascott, Shropshire).^[2] His brother, Charles Tyrwhitt-Jones, married Emily Halliday (a granddaughter of the 3rd Earl of Aldborough),^[3] and his sister, Harriet Emma, was the first wife of John Mytton^[4]

His paternal grandparents were Capt. John Tyrwhitt, of the Royal Navy, of Netherclay House, Bishop's Hull, and the former Katherine Booth (only child and heiress of the Very Rev. Peniston Booth, Dean of Windsor).^[3]

He was educated at Charles Lloyd's school at Peterley House, Great Missenden from 1802 to 1804 followed by Eton from 1805 to 1808. He attended Christ Church, Oxford.^[2]

Upon the death of his father on 24 November 1811, Thomas succeeded as the 2nd Baronet Tyrwhitt-Jones, of Stanley Hall, Shropshire.^[2] He served as High Sheriff of Shropshire from 1816 to 1817.^[2]

In 1818 he was returned as a Tory for Bridgnorth, the borough closest to his residence, under the guidance of Isaac Hawkins Browne, a former Bridgnorth MP. He took a leave of absence for a month beginning in March 1819 and then retired in 1820, instead of facing a contested race.^[2]

After his time in the House, he "devoted himself to the life of a benevolent country gentleman" and rebuilt his father's estate, Stanley Hall in the popular Tudor style.^[2][5]
