Rev. Hon. Charles Francis Annesley (1787–1863) was the son of Arthur Annesley (1760–1841) of Bletchingdon Park, Oxfordshire. The Annesleys were an Anglo-Irish family headed by the Viscount Valentia, historically holding titles of Earl of Anglesey and Earl of Mountnorris. Charles's elder brother was Arthur Annesley, 10th Viscount Valentia.
Charles was educated at Christ Church and All Souls College, Oxford. He served as rector of Sawtry St Andrew in Huntingdonshire from 1812 to 1831. In 1811 he inherited the grand Palladian mansion Eydon Hall in Northamptonshire from his great uncle, Rev. Francis Annesley (1734–1811). He died unmarried and without children in 1863.
Works by Charles Francis Annesley can be found in the collections of the British Museum and The Huntington, San Marino, California.
