After contesting Glamorgan unsuccessfully in the Tory interest in January 1745, Tynte was brought in for Monmouth in March by the Duke of Beaufort. From 1747 he was returned for Somerset till he retired in 1774. The 2nd Lord Egmont in his electoral survey c.1749-50 describes him as having ‘a very good interest at Bridgwater and (without management) will expect to be suffered to exert it for one Tory’. He died 25 Apr. 1785.
