Charles Cavendish Boyle


Sir Charles Cavendish Boyle, KCMG (29 May 1849 – 7 September 1916) was a British colonial administrator. He joined the British Colonial Office and was made magistrate in the Leeward Islands in 1879. He served as Colonial Secretary in Bermuda from 1882 to 1888 and in Gibraltar from 1888 to 1894 and was granted a knighthood for his service. In 1894 he moved to British Guiana.

From 1901 to 1904, Boyle was Governor of Newfoundland and wrote poems to the island's rugged beauty including the Ode to Newfoundland which was adopted as the dominion's national anthem. As governor, Boyle donated a trophy, the Boyle Challenge Cup, to the Newfoundland Hockey League.

Boyle continued his career as the 19th Governor of Mauritius from 20 August 1904 to 10 April 1911,[1] after which he retired to Brighton, England.
