{{EngvarB|date=June 2017}}{{Use dmy dates|date=June 2017}}Sir Charles Warwick Bampfylde, 5th Baronet (23 January 1753 – 19 April 1823)[1] of Poltimore in Devon, was a British politician who served twice as Member of Parliament for Exeter, in 1774–1790 and 1796–1812.[2]

Origins

He was the eldest surviving son of Sir Richard Bampfylde, 4th Baronet by his wife Jane Codrington (d. 1789), daughter and heiress of Colonel John Codrington of Charlton House,[3] Wraxall, Somerset, near Bristol.[4] He was baptised at St Augustine the Less Church, Bristol in Gloucestershire.[5]

Career

Bampfylde was educated at New College, Oxford and was awarded the degree of Doctor of Civil Law (DCL).[5] In 1776, he succeeded his father as baronet.[7] He was High Sheriff of Somerset for 1820–21 after the death in office of Gerard Berkeley Napier.

Between 1774 and 1790 Bampfylde sat as Member of Parliament for Exeter.[8] From 1796 he represented the constituency in the Parliament of Great Britain until the Act of Union in 1801, then in the Parliament of the United Kingdom until 1812.[6]

Marriage and progeny

On 9 February 1776, at St James's Church, Piccadilly, he married Catharine Moore, eldest daughter of Admiral Sir John Moore, 1st Baronet,[7] by whom he had two sons and a daughter:[7]

  • George Bampfylde, 1st Baron Poltimore (1786–1858), eldest son and heir, in 1831 elevated to the peerage as Baron Poltimore.
  • Rev. Charles Bampfylde, a priest.[8]
  • Louisa Bampfylde, wife of Lieutenant Edward Wells, Royal Navy.[9]

Murder attempt and death

On 7 April 1823 a shot was fired at Bampfylde in front of his house at Montagu Square in London by a jealous ex-servant, whose wife was still working in Bampfylde's household.[10] After he had seen his shot hitting Bampfylde, the man killed himself with a second pistol.[10]

Bampfylde survived, but died two weeks later.[7] An autopsy showed that the shot itself had passed the lungs and had come to a stillstand between the ribs, however that with the bullet also a little piece of his braces had entered the body and had effected a deadly gangrene.[11] Bampfylde was buried at Hardington in Somerset.[11]

Succession

His elder son George Bampfylde, 1st Baron Poltimore succeeded to the baronetcy and was later elevated to the peerage as Baron Poltimore.[12]
