Thomas Bladen (1615 – 1695) was an Anglo-Irish priest in the seventeenth century. The eldest son and heir of William Bladen of Newton Solney in South Derbyshire and Mary Young, his family left London in 1626[1] where they had a printing/bookselling business at St Paul's Churchyard to live amongst Protestant settlers in Dublin.
Thomas attended Trinity College Dublin[2] from 1631–37 and became a Doctor of Divinity. During the Irish Rebellion of 1641, Thomas was under siege at Geashill Castle with the Digby family (headed by the widowed Lady Offaly).[3]
