Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:For Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Christopher Atkinson (c. 1738 – 23 April 1819),[1] from about 1798 known as Christopher Atkinson Savile or Saville, was an English merchant and politician.
Born in Yorkshire, Atkinson moved to London and married the niece of a corn merchant, entering that trade himself at the London Corn Exchange.[2] At the 1780 general election Atkinson was elected as one of the two Members of Parliament for Hedon, but he was expelled from the House of Commons on 4 December 1783,[1] after being convicted of perjury in his dealings with the Navy Victualling Board, and was sentenced to stand in the pillory.[2]
Atkinson was granted a royal pardon in 1791,[2] and was again returned to Parliament for Hedon in 1796,[1] holding the seat until he stood down at the 1806 general election.[2] He changed his name to Saville some time after 1798.[2]
He then bought extensive properties in Okehampton in Devon, which gave him control of both parliamentary seats of the pocket borough of Okehampton,[2] and at the election of 1807 he returned his son Albany Savile (1783-1831). He returned himself for Okehampton at the 1818 election, holding the seat until his death in April 1819, aged over eighty.[3]
Marriages and children
Atkinson’s first wife was Jane Constable, a daughter of John Constable and the aunt of the painter John Constable.
His second wife was Jane Savile, a daughter of John Savile (1712-1778). Their only son, Albany Savile, was the grandfather of Sir Leopold Halliday Savile. Albany was one of the members of parliament for the family’s borough of Okehampton between 1807 and 1820, briefly serving alongside his father as the borough’s other member.
Savile had an illegitimate son, Robert Farrand, who was one of the Members for Hedon in 1818–1820 and later a Member for Stafford in 1837.
Relationship with John Constable
In his diary, Joseph Farington describes a dinner with John Constable in 1811 at which Savile was discussed: Шаблон:Quote
