Charles Oulton is a former Fleet Street journalist and English teacher. A few years after graduating from St Edmund Hall, Oxford, he covered the Falkland Island debates in parliament for the Press Association before heading for The Sunday Times via the Daily Mail, reporting, amongst other stories, on the ordination of women, the poll tax riot and the Hillsborough disaster. He was Religious Affairs Correspondent before joining the Insight investigations team established by Sir Harold Evans. He then joined the Independent on Sunday at its launch before working at The Independent, editing its daily political and social diary column. After a spell as science correspondent at the Daily Express, he retrained as an English teacher, spending 20 fulfilling years at King’s Bruton in Somerset, 10 of them as a Housemaster. Since his retirement in 2018, he has produced a biography for several members of his family. This prompted the launch of Biographia. He has also written a coffee table book commemorating the 500th anniversary of King’s Bruton. Away from publishing biographies, he enjoys driving his tractor on the Somerset small holding he runs with his wife Camilla (pictured with Charles). He is also a governor at his old school, Charterhouse.
