Eldest son of Alexander Pym of Brymore, near Bridgwater, Somerset He became a clerk in the Exchequer, and represented Tavistock in Parliament. In 1626 he drew up the articles of impeachment against the Duke of Buckingham, and on the meeting of the Long Parliament in 1640, conducted the proceedings against the Earl of Strafford. His conduct on this occasion, and in the next year in the case of Archbishop Laud, led to the abortive attempt on the part of the King to seize him and four other members. In November, 1643, he was appointed Lieutenant of the Ordnance, and would probably have risen to greater distinction, but for his somewhat premature death a month later, 8 Dec. 1643. He was buried in Westminster Abbey. The actions of Pym form a leading part in the history of his time.

Many of Pym's Speeches were published from time time to time 1641—1645, and in 1642 he published a Vindication of Himself in Parliament of the Accusation of High Treason.
