Charles Eversfield

Charles Eversfield (15 September 1683 – 1749) of Denne Place, near Horsham, Sussex, was a British Tory politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1705 and 1747.

He acted as a teller on 8 March 1709 against the election of Thomas Meredyth for Midhurst and voted against the impeachment of Dr Sacheverell in 1710.

[1] At the 1715 British general election, he was defeated at Sussex and was unseated on petition at Horsham on 16 June 1715.

He came to an agreement with his opponents, the Ingrams, to share the representation of Horsham and he was returned there unopposed at a by-election on 12 June 1721.

In 1737 he sold his burgages at Horsham to the Ingrams, and in 1741 was returned as MP for Steyning, continuing to vote with the Government.
