Sir Charles Gould Morgan, 1st Baronet (25 April 1726 – 7 December 1806) was an English Judge Advocate-General. From his birth until 1792 he was known as Charles Gould.
The elder son of King Gould of Westminster, who died deputy judge advocate in 1756, he was a scholar of Westminster School in 1739. He was elected to Christ Church, Oxford, 1743, where he proceeded B.A. in 1747 and M.A. in 1750. He was made an honorary D.C.L. in 1773.[1]
Gould was called to the bar at the Middle Temple in 1750, and in 1771 was appointed judge advocate-general. He came into the favour of George III, was also made chancellor of Salisbury in 1772, and became chamberlain of Brecon, Radnor, and Glamorgan. He sat as Member of Parliament for Brecon 1778–87, and for the Breconshire 1787–1806. He was knighted 5 May 1779,[2] and made a baronet on 30 October 1792,[3] That same year he changed surname to Morgan on inheriting the Rhiwperra and Tredegar estates from the Morgan family. In 1802 he was made a privy counsellor.[4]
He was elected as a Bailiff to the board of the Bedford Level Corporation in 1781, a position he held until his death.[5]
In 1751 Gould was one of the authors of the Oxford poem on the occasion of the death of Frederick, Prince of Wales.[1]
