Charles Freshfield

Charles Kaye Freshfield (11 March 1808 – 6 July 1891) was a 19th-century lawyer and Conservative Party Member of Parliament in the British House of Commons.

The family moved to Abney House near Stoke Newington and Charles Freshfield was educated at Charterhouse School.

During his time at Freshfields he was heavily involved with the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway, until the latter got into financial difficulties in 1867.

He lived at Hampstead and later at Upper Gatton Park, Merstham, Surrey, and also had a residence at 21 Half Moon Street.

He was uncle to Douglas Freshfield, the travel writer, and cousin to Edmund Blacket, the Australian architect.
