civic duty, culminating in 1860, in him reluctantly becoming the first President of the Legislative Council for the new State of Queensland.
Living in the Eastern Suburbs, including owning Lindesay at Darling Point from 1845-1849, Nicholson was a foundation Trustee of St Mark’s Church and Parsonage from 1847. As an active Christian, he worked with notables such as Thomas Mort in shaping the emerging nation at many levels. He was noted for his gentle manner and fine sense of tolerance.
SIR CHARLES NICHOLSON
Charles Nicholson was the original ‘quiet achiever’ of early Sydney. He was born in Yorkshire in 1808, and arrived in Sydney in 1833 on the encouragement of his wealthy uncle. This was perhaps because, despite qualifying brilliantly in medicine at the University of Edinburgh, Nicholson wished to cover a dark secret.
He is perhaps best remembered for joining with WC Wentworth in agitating for a university for Sydney and then being a member of its original senate, becoming the first chancellor from 1854 to 1862. He remained a fellow of the senate until 1883, even after repatriating to England in 1862.
As a physician he was readily accepted into Sydney society and quickly made a name for himself practising as an obstetrician. Also proficient as a businessman, Nicholson inherited substantial property and wealth when his uncle died in 1840.
Fortunately for Sydney, on a three year excursion overseas from 1857, he personally built a fine collection of Egyptian and other antiquities, which he donated as the foundation collection of Sydney University’s world-renowned Nicholson Museum.
Even before his inheritance, Nicholson applied his considerable talents to many civic activities and was recognised as a fine humanitarian with strong religious and political views. He was very active in the governance and administration of public institutions including the Australian Gaslight Co (AGL today), the Savings Bank and the Australian Museum.
On his return to the colonies, he was created a baronet in 1859 and helped establish Queensland as a separate state. From 1862, he repatriated to England and was an active consultant on Australian affairs in London until his death in 1903.
In 1843, he became the member for Port Phillip on the newly formed Legislative Council; being Speaker from 1846 to 1856. This was the forerunner of a life of

children. It was only recently that his dark secret was discovered – Nicholson himself was illegitimate, being christened Isaac Ascough and raised by his uncle, William Ascough, from an unknown father.
