Sir Charles Crisp, 5th Baronet

Sir Charles Crisp, 5th Baronet, or Crispe (c.1680–1740) was an English politician.[1]

Life

He was the second son of Sir Nicholas Crisp, 2nd Baronet and his wife Judith Adrian.[1] He married in 1714 Anne, daughter of Thomas Crispe (died 1714), a first cousin once removed on his father's side; she died in 1718 and he acquired the manor of Dornford in Oxfordshire.[1][2][3] In 1715 he became High Sheriff of Oxfordshire.[1]

In 1721 Crisp was elected Member of Parliament for New Woodstock, with the backing of the Duchess of Marlborough, on the death of Sir Thomas Wheate, 1st Baronet; but he failed to be re-elected at the 1722 general election, when Sir Thomas Wheate, 2nd Baronet was elected at the second attempt.[1][4]

Crisp became a baronet in 1730, when his nephew Sir Nicholas Crispe, 4th Baronet died.[1]

Legacy

On Crisp's death in 1740 the baronetcy lapsed.[5] His estate, including Dornford, passed to female relations, among them Mary Crispe, daughter of Sir John Crispe, 3rd Baronet. She had married George Stonehouse, in 1739.[6]
