Christopher Walters Stockdale (1665–1713) was an English politician and landowner in Yorkshire who served as Member of Parliament for Knaresborough from 1693 until his death in 1713.[1]
Life[]
He was born Christopher Walters in 1665, the second son of Robert Walters of Cundall Manor (now an independent boarding school).[2] His uncle was William Stockdale, a distinguished Whig parliamentarian who had held his Knaresborough seat for 33 years without interruption.[2] As a condition of inheriting his uncle's substantial estate and political interests he changed his surname to Stockdale by royal license in 1693.[3] This estate included Bilton Hall near Harrogate. In the same year he was elected as Member of Parliament for Knaresborough.[1]
Christopher Stockdale married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Thomas Liddell, 2nd Baronet of Ravensworth Castle.[4] They had one son named William Stockdale.[5]
