Some Famous People called Christopher Codrington
Christopher Codrington
Christopher Codrington (1668 – 7 April 1710) was an Barbadian-born colonial administrator, planter, book collector and military officer. He is sometimes known as Christopher Codrington the Younger to distinguish him from his father.
Codrington inherited one of the largest sugar plantations in Barbados. His will endowed the Codrington Library at All Souls College, Oxford. In November 2020, his name was removed from that library, as his wealth had been derived from slave labour. He also established Codrington College in Barbados, now part of the University of the West Indies.

Sir Christopher William Codrington (12 March 1805 – 24 June 1864), of Dodington, Gloucestershire, was a British MP for East Gloucestershire between 7 August 1834 and 24 June 1864 and a landowner in Gloucestershire.
Codrington was first elected to the House of Commons in a by-election on 7 August 1834, to replace Sir Berkeley Guise, 2nd Baronet (who had died 23 July 1834) as one of the two members for the East Gloucestershire parliamentary constituency. He was re-elected on 10 January 1835, on 5 July 1841, on 27 February 1847 (with his young brother-in-law the Marquess of Worcester), in 1852 again with Worcester. When Worcester's father died in 1853, he became 8th Duke of Beaufort and was translated to the House of Lords. His seat was then filled briefly by Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, 8th Baronet between 9 January 1854 and 29 November 1854 when Hicks-Beach died. A second by-election on 19 December 1854 resulted in the election of Robert Stayner Holford, a wealthy landowner and dilettante, as the second member. Codrington and Holford represented East Gloucestershire for the next ten years, until Codrington's own death.
