<Obituary — By the death, on the 3rd May, of Mr Charles Giles-Puller, of Youngsbury, Ware, the Eastern Division of Herts loses a prominent figure among her country gentlemen. Born in 1834, Mr Giles-Puller (then Puller) was 14th Wrangler in 1857, and was elected a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1859. In early life he took Orders, and for a time held the family living at Standen; but he subsequently availed himself of the legislation authorizing the renunciation of Orders. A few years since he succeeded, on the sudden death of his elder brother, to the estate of Youngsbury, which includes one of the most charming parks in the neighbourhood of Ware. He was a J P. for Herts and one of the first members of the County Council, and there is no doubt that, had he coveted the honour, he would have been nominated as Liberal candidate either for his own, the Hertford, or for the Hitchin Division. His politics were Gladstonian, but on many questions his leanings were Conservative. His favourite haunt was his library, which contained about 7,000 well-chosen volumes. He was a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, and, under the guidance of Mr John Evans, lately opened a burrow near his house, which proved to contain some interesting remains of the Roman occupation. Recently Mr Giles-Puller had a paralytic seizure, but it was hoped that the effects were passing off, when, on the night of Tuesday week, he fell into a faint, which terminated fatally within half-an-hour. Mr Giles-Puller, in 1874, married a daughter of the late Mr William Longman. His widow and several children survive him. His eldest son, as yet under age, succeeds to the estate.> |

It will be seen that Charles only assumed the double-barrelled <Giles-Puller> after the death of Arthur Giles Puller. This obsession some Brits have with names and titles, I'll never understand it. |
