Charles Donaldson-Hudson

Charles Donaldson-Hudson (12 February 1840 – 18 April 1893) was an English Conservative politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1880 to 1885.

Cheswardine Hall built 1875
St Swithun, Cheswardine - rebuilt 1886-89

Donaldson-Hudson was born as Donaldson, the son of John Donaldson of Wigton Cumberland, and his wife Catherine Halliley, daughter of Anthony Halliley. He was educated at Merton College, Oxford and after the death of his uncle Thomas Hudson in 1852 assumed the additional surname Hudson by Royal Licence in 1862, as his uncle had no issue. In 1870 at the age of 30 he inherited his uncles estates at Cheswardine according to the terms of his uncle's will.[1] He was a J.P. for Shropshire and Staffordshire and in 1876 was elected a member of the London School Board.[2] In 1876 Donaldson-Hudson had built Cheswardine Hall designed by J Macvicar Anderson.[3] He later gave generously to the rebuilding of the church of St Swithun.

In August 1878 Donaldson-Hudson stood unsuccessfully for Parliament at a by-election for Newcastle-under-Lyme.[4] He was appointed High Sheriff of Shropshire in 1880.[5] At the 1880 general election he was elected as one the two Members of Parliament (MPs) for Newcastle-under-Lyme.[6] He held the seat until 1885,[7] when the borough was reduced to one seat under Redistribution of Seats Act and he did not stand again.[8] He suffered a serious injury to his head whilst out hunting in North Shropshire, and this effectively brought his Parliamentary career to an end.

Donaldson-Hudson died at the age of 53.

Donaldson-Hudson married Sara Marie Streatfeild, daughter of Major Sidney Streatfeild in 1870.[2]
