The late Lieutenant-Colonel Bignold, 1895. Engraving from a photograph. 'Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Edward Bignold, J.P., D.L., who died on May 19, was an important figure in the civic life of Norwich. He was the son of the late Sir Samuel Bignold, who represented Norwich in Parliament for some time. Colonel Bignold was not only Mayor of Norwich, but he was the leader of the Conservative party in the town, and exercised considerable influence in other ways. He was a county magistrate. He died at his residence, Harford Lodge, and his funeral was of a public nature, showing the esteem in which the Mayor was held'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
