Charles Alan Bennett

Sir Charles Alan Bennett (9 May 1877 – 20 December 1943) was a British barrister and judge, who sat in the Chancery Division of the High Court from 1929 until his death.

During the First World War, he served with The Rifle Brigade, and was a prisoner-of-war in Germany.

In the 1924 general election, he contested South Oxfordshire as a Liberal, but lost.

His obituary in The Times said that "Without great outstanding qualities, but with much good sense, he made a satisfactory and very pleasant judge."

In 1904, Bennett married Constance Radeglence, the only daughter of Major J. N. Still, of Musbury, Devon, an officer in the King's Own Scottish Borderers; they had two sons and one daughter, who married Raymond Evershed, later the Master of the Rolls.
