Sir Charles Warwick Bampfylde, 5th Baronet (23 January 1753 – 19 April 1823)[1] of Poltimore in Devon, was a British politician who served twice as Member of Parliament for Exeter, in 1774–1790 and 1796–1812.[2]

Murder attempt and deathedit
On 7 April 1823 a shot was fired at Bampfylde in front of his house at Montagu Square in London by a jealous ex-servant, whose wife was still working in Bampfylde's household.[10] After he had seen his shot hitting Bampfylde, the man killed himself with a second pistol.[10]
Bampfylde survived, but died two weeks later.[7] An autopsy showed that the shot itself had passed the lungs and had come to a stillstand between the ribs, however that with the bullet also a little piece of his braces had entered the body and had effected a deadly gangrene.[11] Bampfylde was buried at Hardington in Somerset.[11]
