Admiral Sir Charles Talbot KCB (1 November 1801 – 8 August 1876) was a Royal Navy officer who went on to be Commander-in-Chief, The Nore.

Naval career[edit]

Talbot was the second son of the Rev. Charles Talbot, and Lady Elizabeth Somerset, daughter of Henry Somerset, 5th Duke of Beaufort.[1] He joined the Royal Navy as a cadet in 1815.[2] Promoted to captain in 1830, he commanded HMS Warspite, HMS Vestal, HMS Maeander and then HMS Algiers.[2] He was appointed Commander-in-chief, Queenstown in 1858 and Commander-in-Chief, The Nore in 1864.[2]

He presented a stained glass window to All Saints Church, Down Ampney, Gloucestershire in appreciation after his ship survived a storm off Sebastopol in 1854.[3]

There is a memorial window to him and his wife in the church of St. John the Baptist in Biggleswade.[4]

Family[edit]

In 1838 he married Hon. Charlotte Georgiana Ponsonby; they had three sons and four daughters.[5]
