Ireton was the only son of General Henry Ireton of Attenborough, Nottinghamshire and his wife Bridget Cromwell, daughter of Oliver Cromwell. He succeeded his father in 1651. In 1684, he was accused of being involved in the Rye House Plot and escaped to Holland after a warrant was issued for his arrest. When he returned to England in April 1685, he was arrested at Harwich, where he was kept in custody until his escape on 19 May. He was subsequently recaptured and imprisoned in Newgate Prison.
