  • House & Family History: Charles Nicholas Pallmer (1772-1848) owned Norbiton Hall and the nearby Norbiton Place, the latter of which was his primary residence. Pallmer was an MP and a notorious supporter of slavery. He owned a Jamaica sugar plantation worked by hundreds of slaves and, not surprisingly, vigorously supported the cause of West Indies planters and strongly resisted William Wilberforce's efforts in the British Parliament to end slavery.
