Carew Hervey Mildmay (2 February 1596–1676) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons in 1654 and 1656. He fought in the Parliamentary army in the English Civil War.
Mildmay was the second son of William Mildmay, of Moulsham, Essex. He was admitted at Emmanuel College, Cambridge in 1614 and admitted at the Inner Temple in 1616. He was adopted as heir to his uncle Sir Gawen Hervey in 1622 and adopted the additional surname of Hervey. In the Civil War, he commanded a Parliamentary regiment and only escaped capture by swimming the moat of his manor house.[1]
In 1654, he was elected Member of Parliament for Essex in the First Protectorate Parliament. He was re-elected MP for Essex in the Second Protectorate Parliament.[2] After the Restoration he successfully pleaded to return to his post in the Jewel House. [3]
Mildmay was of Marks, Romford, Essex. He died at the age of 80 and was buried at Romford on 8 August 1676. He had married Dorothy Gerard, sister of Sir Gilbert Gerard, 1st Baronet of Harrow on the Hill.
