Charles Edmund Rumbold (11 August 1788 – 31 May 1857)[1] was a British Whig politician.
He was the fifth son of Sir Thomas Rumbold, 1st Baronet, and his second wife Joanna Law, daughter of Edmund Law, Bishop of Carlisle.[2] Rumbold was educated at Oriel College, Oxford, and then went to Trinity College, Cambridge.[3][4] In 1812, he began his Grand Tour and returned a year later.[4]
Rumbold was elected as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Great Yarmouth in 1818, a seat he held until 1835.[1] In the general election of 1837 he returned to the House of Commons and sat for the constituency again until 1847.[1] In a by-election the following year, he was elected a third time for Great Yarmouth and represented it until his death in 1857.[1]
In 1834, he married Harriet, daughter of John Gardner, and had three sons with her.[4] He died at Brighton, at the age of 68, and was buried at Preston Candover in Hampshire.[5]
