The Talbot Hotel (1352 words) |
 | Charles Talbot, 1st Baron Talbot of Hensol (1685 - February 14, 1737) Lord Chancellor of Great Britain, was the eldest son of William Talbot, bishop of Durham, a descendant of the 1st earl of Shrewsbury. |
| Talbot proved himself an equity judge of exceptional capacity and of the highest character during the three years of his occupancy of the Woolsack. |
| Among his contemporaries Talbot enjoyed the reputation of a wit; he was a patron of the poet Thomson, who in ''The Seasons'' commemorated a son of his to whom he acted as tutor; and Butler dedicated his famous ''Analogy'' to the lord chancellor. |
