Charles Sergison (11 January 1655 - 26 November 1732) was an English Royal Navy administrator and politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1698 to 1702.
Sergison became a clerk in one of the Royal Naval dockyards in 1671 and by 1685 was a principal officer and commissioner of the Royal Navy.[1] In 1693 he occupied Cuckfield Place in Sussex which he later purchased from the Bowyer family. He lived at Cuckfield Place until his death[2]
In 1698, Sergison was elected Member of Parliament (MP) for New Shoreham. He held the seat until 1702.[3]
Sergison continued to work in the Admiralty as Clerk of the Accounts until his retirement in 1719. He built a large collection of papers relating to Admiralty orders to the Navy Board between 1603 and 1717.[4] These papers have subsequently been published.[5]
Sergison died at Cuckfield aged 77 and was buried at Holy Trinity Church.[1]
