The east window in St Peter's Church, Hurstpierpoint, Sussex, is dedicated to him.

The lower part of the window is no longer fully visible, and also, when I visited, the sunlight shining on the west window cast a reflection.

A book about Danny House, available to see online, has images of Charles Campion's parents and one of his brothers, but not of Charles himself.

There's a memorial birdbath in Hurstpierpoint churchyard, which is dedicated to Charles Campion. I wasn't aware of it when I visited Hurstpierpoint, but the left half of the birdbath appears in a photo on page 132 of the Danny House book - www.dannyhouse.org.uk/assets/book/Danny%20House.pdf

* The weird thing about St Peter's Church in Brighton is that the person who let me in and then walked round with me, said that there were no memorials in the building. As we walked round I pointed out various memorials on the walls, getting into double figures, none of which the person had ever noticed before.

An addition to this excellent thread.

He was killed in action at Vlakfontein, May 29th, 1901. He was the fourth son of Colonel W H, and the Honourable Mrs Campion, of Danny, near Hurstpierpoint, Sussex, and nephew of Lord Hampden. He was 24 years of age and educated at Eton. He went out with the Ceylon Mounted Infantry, as a trooper, and after a time served with Brigadier General Broadwood's column, afterwards proceeding to Pretoria as Superintendent of the Police, and eventually joined the Imperial Yeomanry as Lieutenant.
