Charles Hayne Seale Hayne PC (22 October 1833 – 22 November 1903) of Fuge House in the parish of Blackawton and of Kingswear Castle, Dartmouth harbour, both in Devon, was a British businessman and Liberal politician, serving as Member of Parliament for Ashburton in Devon, from 1885 until his death in 1903.[2][3] He served as Paymaster General between 1892 and 1895 in the Liberal administrations of William Gladstone and the Earl of Rosebery.

Early life and education

[edit]

Seale Hayne was born in Brighton, Sussex, in 1833, the only child of Charles Hayne (1809-1842), and Louisa (née Jennings) (1812-1879). His paternal grandfather was Sir John Henry Seale, who served as MP for Dartmouth from 1832 to 1844. He was educated at Eton[4]

Political career

[edit]

Called to the bar in 1857, Seale Hayne was Liberal Member of Parliament for Ashburton, Devon, from 1885 until his death in 1903.[5][6] He served under Gladstone and later the Earl of Rosebery as Paymaster General from 1892 to 1895[7] and was appointed a Privy Counsellor in 1892.[8] Apart from his political career he was also the first Chairman of the Dartmouth and Torbay Railway, and Lieutenant-Colonel of the 3rd Battalion (2nd Devon Militia), Devonshire Regiment, becoming its Honorary Colonel when he retired from the command in 1894.[9]

Personal life

[edit]

Seale Hayne died suddenly in November 1903, aged 70, in Mayfair, London, and was buried in Kensal Green Cemetery.[10] In his will he endowed a farming and food science college near Newton Abbot. Seale-Hayne College opened in 1919, later becoming part of the University of Plymouth. The University's Charles Seale-Hayne Library is named in his honour.[11][12]
