Lady Charlotte Fermor was born on 14 February 1725, the second eldest daughter of Thomas Fermor, 1st Earl of Pomfret and his wife Henrietta Louisa Jeffreys.
The growing family would come to include ten children: four sons and six daughters.
Lord and Lady Pomfret held various court appointments during their lifetimes; the earl served as Master of the Horse to Queen Caroline while his wife was a Lady of the Bedchamber.

Charlotte and her family were well travelled and sojourned to cultural and historical landmarks on the continent.
While details on Fermor and her sisters' education are minimal, mention of them in contemporary diaries implies they were well-educated.
She and Lady Pomfret were well-read and interested in theology; Charlotte's friends included the educated Elizabeth Carter.
Charlotte was fluent enough in Italian for Horace Walpole to remark in 1740, she "speaks the purest Tuscan, like any Florentine" and "the Florentines look on her as the brightest foreigner that has honoured their [Accademia]."
According to Walpole, Lord Granville, who had been briefly married to Charlotte's sister Sophia, was "extremely fond" of Charlotte; after Sophia's death in 1745, Granville gave his deceased wife's jewels to Charlotte, "to the great discontent of his own daughters".

On 9 August 1746, Charlotte married the Hon.
William Finch (1691–1766), heir to his brother Daniel Finch, 8th Earl of Winchilsea.
Shortly after the wedding, Walpole reported that Charlotte had five thousand pounds from her father, a sum that would increase when "Mr Finch settles fifteen thousand pounds more upon her".
William Finch had previously been married to Lady Anne Douglas but had no issue.
He was a diplomat who served as envoy to Sweden and the Netherlands in the 1720s before becoming an MP for Cockermouth and Bewdley.
Another of his roles, held from 1742, was to serve as vice-chamberlain of the royal household.
He and Lady Charlotte had one son and four daughters together.
One of their daughters died in 1765.
Their only son, George, inherited the earldoms of Nottingham and Winchilsea from his paternal uncle in 1769.
