Charles Harvey (Charles Savill-Onley): An Overview
The information I have about Charles comes from the following sources:
1. Information supplied to me by Carla Woodworth Lynas and based on
the 'Original Genealogical Collections, by the late Lieut. Col.
Robert John Harvey of Thorpe'. This is mentioned in a
publication called 'Walter Rye, Memoir Bibliography and Catalogue of
of his Norfolk Manuscripts in the Norwich Public Libraries' by Geo.
A. Stephen published in 1929? by the Public Libraries Committee,
Norwich. Original documents in the Norfolk Archives.
2. The Norwich Churches website www.norwichchurches.co.uk
Unlike other members of the family Charles never held the position of
Sheriff or Mayor however, he was Steward, than Recorder in 1801and MP
for the city from 1812 - 1818. . He greatly opposed the revolution in
France and in his capacity as Steward of Norwich spoke to the Grand
jury on the offences of publishing seditious and inflammatory libels
with a view to overturning the constitution. On the French revolution
he stated, “Good God gentlemen, when acts from which all mankind
shrinks in horror are not only palliated and excused, but when the
perpetrators of them are openly espoused and countenanced, it is
natural for men to enquire into the views and motives of their advocates&ldots;”
In 1822, on the death of his maternal uncle , the Rev Charles Onley, he changed his name to Savill Onley. At this time he inherited a fine estate in Essex. Onley Street (Unthank Road) continues to be named after him
