Bio


Charles Richardson was born Shugborough, Warwickshire, in 1787.

We know nothing of his early life, but since he was a successful gardener it is quite possible that he worked as a gardener for the Shugborough estate in his early years.

He married Ann Pengilley - daughter of Thomas Pengilley, an Exeter lawyer - at St. Mary’s Church, Lambeth on 21 Dec 1813, which coincidentally has become a garden museum.

At this time of his marriage he was probably working as a gardener at Copped Hall, Totteridge, owned by William Manning MP who was then the Governor of the Bank of England. Copped Hall encompassed 3,420 acres, including much of what is now the town of Epping. Their first daughter was born there in 1815. In 1816 William Manning bought Combe Park in Kent and by 1820 was in financial difficulties.

Charles meantime had moved on and by 1817 was working for Money Wigram, owner of the Blackwall Yard estate and Director of the East India Company. Money Wigram lived at Wood House, Wanstead. He also became a Director of The Bank of England. The family lived in Woodhouse Gardeners Cottage.

In 1823 their second son William was born, in Stratford in Essex, although this was close to Wood House so he still have been working for Money Ingram.

By the 1841 census, he had moved to Teddington in Middlesex, by Hampton Court, where he owned 40 acres. In the 1851 census he was listed as Head Gardener at Hampton Court Palace.

He is buried with his wife Ann in the St Mary's Church Teddington, where they worshiped.
