Charles Stourton, 21st Baron Stourton, 25th Baron Segrave, 24th Baron Mowbray (23 May 1867 – 29 July 1936) was the son of Alfred Joseph Stourton, 20th Baron Stourton, 24th Baron Segrave and 23rd Baron Mowbray and Mary Margaret Corbally, daughter of Matthew Corbally MP, of Corbalton Hall, County Meath, Ireland, and the Hon. Matilda Margaret Preston.

He married Mary Constable in 1893. They had four children:[2]

He was something of an amateur historian with a particular interest in his own family's history. In 1899 he privately published History of the Noble Family of Stourton,[3] which contains much useful information, though it possibly exaggerates the role his family played in English history.
