Sir Coplestone Bampfylde, 3rd Baronet
Sir Coplestone Warwick Bampfylde, 3rd Baronet (c. 1689 – 7 October 1727)[1] was a British High Tory politician.[2]
He was the oldest son of Colonel Hugh Bampfylde and his wife Mary Clifford, daughter of James Clifford.[2] Bampfylde was educated at Christ Church, Oxford.[3] In 1692, his father having died the year before, he succeeded his grandfather Coplestone as baronet.[3] In 1710, he entered the British House of Commons for Exeter, representing the constituency until 1713.[4] Subsequently he sat for Devon until his death in 1727.[5] During The Fifteen, he was suspected of Jacobite sympathies and was temporarily imprisoned.[2]
In June 1716, he married Gertrude Carew, daughter of Sir John Carew, 3rd Baronet.[2] They had two daughters and a son.[2] Bampfylde was buried in Poltimore a week after his death[3] and was succeeded in the baronetcy by his son Richard.[6]
