Charles Nicholas Paul Phipps

Charles Nicholas Paul Phipps

Charles Nicholas Paul Phipps (4 November 1845 – 9 December 1913), of Chalcot House, Westbury, Wiltshire, was a Brazil merchant, Conservative MP for Westbury (1880-1885) and High Sheriff of Wiltshire (1888).

He was the eldest son of Charles Paul Phipps (1815-1880) and Emma Mary Benson. Having been educated at Eton, he was sent to Brazil to work for the family firm, Phipps & Co, which exported coffee from Rio de Janeiro. In 1871, following the death of his uncle, John Lewis Phipps, he became a partner in the firm.

At the 1880 general election, Phipps was elected as the Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) for Westbury. A petition by the defeated Liberal Party candidate (and outgoing MP), Abraham Laverton, to have his election annulled on the grounds of bribery, treating and undue influence, failed. He remained MP for Westbury until 1885.

He was also a member of Wiltshire County Council and served as chairman of the Selection Committee from 1911 to 1913.[1]

Phipps died in 1913. In 1874, he married Clare, the daughter of Sir Frederick Hervey Bathurst, of Clarendon Park Wiltshire. They had one son and six daughters. One daughter, Norah Jacintha, married Sir John Fuller, 1st Baronet, of Neston Park, Wiltshire, and was the mother of Sir Gerard Fuller, 2nd Baronet.
