    Obituary from Gentleman's Magazine, Volume 64

    At Blockley, in the county and diocese of Worcester, the Rev. Charles Jasper Selwyn, M.A. more than 40 years minister of that parish; of whose exemplary character they can on speak as it deserves, who had the happiness to be most intimately acquainted with his virtues, which originated from the most enduring sweetness and benevolence of natural disposition, improved and heightened by the influences of true religion. This gentleman was of a very antient and respectable family, nearly connected with Lords Sydney and Boston. He was educated at Westminster School; and his amiable character and conduct there still live in the memories of his contemporaries. He was elected thence to Christ Church, Oxford, in 1775; and soon after he had taken his first degree, married Elizabeth, the daughter of ____ Coxeter, esq. of Bampton, co. Oxford. Not many years after his ordination he was placed by his friend Mr. Congreve, the late generous and worthy vicar of that parish, in the curacy of Blockley, with a handsome stipend; and his faithful labours, in an extensive and laborious cure, so recommended him to his liberal-minded principal, that he permitted him to apply to Dr. Johnson then Bishop of Worcester, who was no stranger to Mr. Selwyn's character, to consent to the resignation of Mr. Congreve, and collate his excellect curate to the vicarage. In that station he was enabled, by this fortunate increase of income, to extend his bounty to his poor parishioners.

    "By him were riches rightly understood
    "to be a larger power of doing good."

    About 20 years ago he qualified as a justice of the peace for the county of Worcester; and, not many years since, he also qualified for the county of Gloucester: and in this arduous situation, in a district of thirty miles extent, with very few resident magistrates, he acquitted himself with such unbiassed integrity, such unwearied patience, such found judgement, and such strict adherence to the laws, as gave universal satisfaction to those to whose benefit and accommodation he devoted his time and his abilities. In a word, it is difficult to say in which character he shone most; whether as an affectionate husband, a tender and indulgent father, a pious minister, an upright magistrate or (as the writer of this article with tears of grateful sorrow now reflects) as an attentive, benevolent, and faithful friend. During a long and severe illness he exhibited an example of patient submission to the will of God, full of comfort to himself, and of instruction to those around him; particularly to his affectionate children, who, from the moment of their mother's death, had but one contest with each other, which of them should be most dutiful and attentive to the best of fathers. He was attended to the grave by a mournful train of children, parishioners, and friends.

    Charles married Elizabeth Coxeter on 9 Jun 1750 in St. Mary's, Dover. Elizabeth (daughter of Thomas Coxeter and Elizabeth Harris) was born in 1730; died in 1776 in Blockley; was buried on 12 Jan 1776 in Batsford churchyard. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
