About Richard Child 1st Earl Tylney
- Richard Child, 1st Earl Tylney (5 February 1680-March 1750), was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1708 and 1734.
- Initially a Tory, he switched to supporting the Whigs after 1715.

- In the furnishing of his mansion Child became the main patron of the Flemish painter Old Nollekens.
- He died in March 1750 aged 70 at Aix-en-Provence, France, and was buried on 29 May 1750 at Wanstead.
