Charles Townshend Waller

Charles Townshend Waller (c.1780–1830), Reverend and Knight, 3rd Baronet was a member of the baronetage of Ireland in the late eighteenth century.

[5] Waller was closely involved with the Irish Land question, and was concerned for treating farmers – little more than peasants at the time – fairly, and establishing means by which they could purchase their own land instead of holding it in fee simple as they did.

[6] In 1827 he composed a pamphlet for the duke of Wellington on the matter, entitled 'A Plan for the Relief of the Poor in Ireland.'

[7] He died without issue on 1 June 1830, at Weymouth, England aged 59,[8] and was buried four days later in Melcombe Regis, Dorset, England;[9] his wife had died on 29 November 1827.

[1] His heir was his nephew, Edmund Waller, 4th Baronet, who had been born in 1797.
