Sydenham, Philip, Sir, 3rd Baronet, of Brimpton (1676 -1739)

Sir Philip Sydenham, 3rd Baronet, of Brimpton in Somerset, represented Helston and Somerset in Parliament in 1700 and 1705. An extravagant man, he sold Brimpton to his cousin Humphrey Sydenham, and used the proceeds to collect books. He is said to have had twenty three different bookplates, the last dated 1738, and used three different crests. He never married, and on his death the baronetcy became extinct.
