context_page_description: Sir Richard Worsley, 7th Baronet, PC, FRS, FSA was a British politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1774 and 1801. He was a noted collector of antiquities.
context_section_description: Worsley was born on 13 February 1751, at Appuldurcombe House, near Wroxall on the Isle of Wight, the son of Sir Thomas Worsley, 6th Baronet (1726–1768) and Elizabeth Boyle (1731–1800), daughter of John Boyle, 5th Earl of Cork and Henrietta, his first wife. He succeeded to his father's baronetcy on 23 September 1768.
  Educated at Winchester College, Worsley spent about two years in Naples with his parents from 1765 to 1767, before matriculating at Corpus Christi College, Oxford on 9 April 1768. Instead of taking a degree, he decided to complete his education with a continental Grand Tour from 1769 to 1770, being tutored by Georges Deyverdun, who was a contact of Edward Gibbon, a family friend.
