Charles Harvey Dixon

Charles Harvey Dixon (1862 – 22 September 1923),[1] was a British Conservative Party politician.

Born at Watlington, Oxfordshire, he was the son of Dr Henry Dixon, coroner for South Oxfordshire.[citation needed] Dixon transferred from Warminster Grammar School to Abingdon School in September 1878.

He unsuccessfully contested the Harborough constituency, Leicestershire, in 1900, 1904 (by-election) and 1906.[2] He was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Boston at the January 1910 general election,[3] but retired from Parliament when the constituency was abolished at the 1918 general election. He was again elected as MP for the Rutland and Stamford Division of Lincolnshire at the general election in November 1922,[4] sitting until his death in September 1923. His Parliamentary interests were agriculture and finance.

He bought the Gunthorpe, Rutland estate from the Earl of Ancaster in 1906.[5]
