Charles March-Phillipps

Charles March-Phillipps (28 May 1779 – 24 April 1862)[1] was a British Whig[2] politician from Garrendon Park in Leicestershire.[3] He sat in the House of Commons in two periods between 1818 and 1837.

He was elected at the 1818 general election as one of the two Members of Parliament (MPs) for Leicestershire,[4] and held the seat until 1820,[1] when he did not contest the election.[2] He was returned again at the 1831 general election,[3] and held the seat until the 1831 general election, when the county was divided under the Reform Act. He was then elected for the new Northern division of Leicestershire,[5] and held the seat until he stood down at the 1837 general election.[6]
