The Cavalier, Peter Sainthill (8 July 1593 - 12 August 1648) sat in the House of Commons from 1640 to 1644. He was a strong supporter of the Royalist side in the Civil War. Educated at the Free Grammar School at Tiverton (Blundell's School), he was recorder of Tiverton. In 1640, Sainthill was elected MP for Tiverton in the Short Parliament and re-elected later in 1640 for the Long Parliament but supported the king and was disabled from sitting in 1644. In July 1644, Sainthill entertained King Charles at Bradninch and loaned him money for his campaign.
