Sir Philip Wigham Richardson, 1st Baronet (26 January 1865 – 23 November 1953) was a British sport shooter and Conservative politician.
Richardson competed in the 1908 Summer Olympics and 1912 Summer Olympics.[1] In the 1908 Olympics he won a silver medal in the team military rifle event. Four years later he was 65th in the 300 metre military rifle, three positions event and 33rd in the 600 metre free rifle event.
Richardson was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Chertsey at a by-election in March 1922, and held the seat until he retired from the House of Commons at the 1931 general election.[2] In 1929 he was created a Baronet, of Weybridge in the County of Surrey. He died in November 1953, aged 88.
