Sir Henry Slingsby of Scriven, 1st Baronet, 14 January 1602 – 8 June 1658, was an English landowner, politician and soldier who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1625 and 1642. A Royalist during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms, he was executed in 1658 for his part in a conspiracy to restore Charles II.
First published in 1806, his ‘Memoirs’ for the years 1638 to 1648 are a valuable first-hand source for the First English Civil War in northern England.
