Cuthbert Rippon (29 April 1797 – 14 April 1867) was a British politician.
Rippon was the son of a wealthy stockbroker, who bought several estates in County Durham. Cuthbert lived at Stanhope Castle.[1]
Rippon stood at Gateshead at the 1832 UK general election, and was elected as a Whig. On the radical wing of the party, he supported three-year parliaments, the abolition of tithes and all monopolies, the removal of bishops from the House of Lords, and of clergy from automatically qualifying as magistrates.[1]
Rippon was re-elected at the 1835 and 1837 UK general elections, and stood down in 1841.[1]
