Charles Nicholas Pallmer

Charles Nicholas Pallmer (1772 – 30 September 1848) was an English politician, West Indies estate owner and a supporter of slavery.

He was the eldest son of Charles Pallmer, an owner of a large Jamaican sugar plantation in Clarendon, employing several hundred slaves.

[1] In June 1808 Pallmer married Maria Francis Dennis,[2] who had inherited Norbiton Place, a house and estate near Kingston Upon Thames, Surrey.

[2] Out of Parliament he remained a prominent figure in the opposition to emancipation, chairing the standing committee of the London Society of West India Planters and Merchants from 1818 to 1820.

He again played a leading role in promoting the interests of West Indies planters, lobbying for compensation for slave owners in the event of abolition.
