Biography
Charles Newdigate Newdegate (1816–1887) was a steadfast politician whose care for constituency concerns was matched by his fidelity to conscience. He spent decades representing local interests, always mindful of the agrarian livelihoods that sustained the communities near Harefield.
The Church of St Mary the Virgin stood as a spiritual anchor for him, and he ensured that the parish continued to support charity, education, and the quiet disciplines of worship.
