Sir Charles Burrell, 3rd Baronet

Sir Charles Merrik Burrell, 3rd Baronet (24 May 1774 – 4 January 1862), was an English Conservative politician, who represented the seat of New Shoreham for fifty-six years, becoming Father of the House of Commons.

Burrell built a country mansion near Knepp Castle, known by the same name, near West Grinstead,[1] and purchased an estate at Boulton.

He owned a house in Richmond Terrace, London, which was the subject of a court case in 1833 in which he argued that because the house was on the site of the former Palace of Whitehall, it was not liable to the poor rate of St. Margaret's, Westminster.

[2] Burrell married Frances Wyndham, the illegitimate daughter of George Wyndham, 3rd Earl of Egremont, and Elizabeth Ilive, on 4 July 1808 at St. George's Church, Hanover Square.
