Charles Newdigate Newdegate

He was the only son of Charles Parker Newdigate Newdegate[2] of Harefield Park, Uxbridge, Middlesex, and his wife, Maria Boucherett, of Lincolnshire.

[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.

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.

[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.
