Charles Addington Hanbury (c. 1828 – 13 December 1900) was a member of the Hanbury brewing family and a master of the Brewers' Company in 1857.[1]

Family

Hanbury's father was Robert Hanbury, a partner for more than 50 years in the brewers Truman, Hanbury, Buxton & Co., who died on 20 January 1884.[2]

In 1853 he married Christine Isabella MacKenzie in Inverness.[3][4] One of their sons was the geographer, traveller and author, David Theophilus Hanbury.[5]

Career

In 1859, Hanbury was commissioned as a lieutenant in the 12th Middlesex Rifle Volunteers, a unit got up by Wilbraham Taylor of Hadley Hurst, a gentleman usher to Queen Victoria who became a captain in the unit. They had premises in High Street, Barnet.[6]

Around 1861, he bought Mount Pleasant in East Barnet.[7]

The London Metropolitan Archives contain a number of leases entered into by Hanbury in the 1880s on behalf of the brewing firm Truman, Hanbury Buxton.[8]

Death

Hanbury died in a riding accident when he was thrown from his horse and broke his neck will hunting with the Warwickshire Hounds at Grandborough near Rugby.[9]
