William Pole-Carew

William Henry Pole-Carew (30 July 1811 – 20 January 1888) was a Cornish politician.

Biography

Pole-Carew was born in Eaton Place, Marylebone, in 1811, the son of Reginald Pole-Carew and Hon. Caroline Anne Lyttelton, daughter of William Lyttelton, 1st Baron Lyttelton. His father was a paternal descendant of the Pole baronets of Shute House. He was educated at Charterhouse School from 1824 to 1828, and then at Oriel College, Oxford, gaining a BA in 1833 and an MA in 1864.[1]

He served as Conservative Member of Parliament for East Cornwall from 1845 until 1852,[1] and unsuccessfully contested Liskeard in 1859. He served as High Sheriff of Cornwall in 1854–1855, and as Recorder of East Looe from 1857 to 1886.[1]

Pole-Carew joined the Canterbury Association on 3 June 1848. He was friends with John Robert Godley, and the Godley family stayed with him at Antony House while awaiting departure of the Lady Nugent for Lyttelton.[1] The Return of Owners of Land, 1873 Survey recorded that Carew-Pole's Estates near Torpoint in Cornwall comprised 3,698 acres of land yielding an estimated £6,401.[2]

He died on 20 January 1888 at the Villa Poralto, Cannes, and is buried in the parish church at Antony, Cornwall.[1][3]

Family

Pole-Carew was married on 28 August 1838 to Frances Anne Buller, daughter of John Buller. She died at Antony House on 10 October 1902.[4] They had issue of three daughters and four sons, the eldest son being Lieutenant-General Sir Reginald Pole-Carew.[5] His grandson succeeded a distant relative as baronet, of Shute House.
