Life
He was the second son of Sir Nicholas Crisp, 2nd Baronet and his wife Judith Adrian. He married in 1714 Anne, daughter of Thomas Crispe (died 1714), a first cousin once removed on his father's side; she died in 1718 and he acquired the manor of Dornford in Oxfordshire. In 1715 he became High Sheriff of Oxfordshire.
In 1721 Crisp was elected Member of Parliament for New Woodstock, with the backing of the Duchess of Marlborough, on the death of Sir Thomas Wheate, 1st Baronet; but he failed to be re-elected at the 1722 general election, when Sir Thomas Wheate, 2nd Baronet was elected at the second attempt.
Crisp became a baronet in 1730, when his nephew Sir Nicholas Crispe, 4th Baronet died.
Legacy
On Crisp's death in 1740 the baronetcy lapsed. His estate, including Dornford, passed to female relations, among them Mary Crispe, daughter of Sir John Crispe, 3rd Baronet. She had married George Stonehouse, in 1739.
