Charles Newdigate Newdegate
Newdegate as caricatured by Ape (Carlo Pellegrini) in Vanity Fair, August 1870
Charles Newdigate Newdegate (14 July 1816 – 9 April 1887) was a British Conservative politician.[1]
Early life
He was the only son of Charles Parker Newdigate Newdegate[2] of Harefield Park, Uxbridge, Middlesex, and his wife, Maria Boucherett, of Lincolnshire. He was educated at Eton College, King's College London, and Christ Church, Oxford.[1] He became a large landowner at a young age: in 1833 he inherited the Harefield Estate on his father's death, and two years later his uncle died leaving him Arbury Hall near Nuneaton, Warwickshire.[1]
Member of parliament
In 1843 Newdegate was elected to the United Kingdom House of Commons as member of parliament for North Warwickshire. He held the seat until its abolition under the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885. In parliament he formed part of the "Ultra" wing of the Tories, opposing the recreation of the Roman Catholic hierarchy, free trade and the disestablishment of the Church of Ireland.[1]
Newdegate was also elected as a member of the Chilvers Coton (Warwickshire) Local Board of Health in 1850, whereupon he was appointed Chairman of that Board.[3]
He died at Arbury Hall in April 1887, and was buried in Harefield Church, a building which he had personally spent much money restoring.[1][4]
