The Right Reverend Eyre Chatterton, DD, FRGS (1863–1950) was an eminent Anglican author who served as a Bishop in India from 1903 to 1926, as well as an amateur tennis player.
He was born in Monkstown, County Cork on 22 July 1863 and educated at Haileybury and Trinity College, Dublin.[1] He was ordained by Bishop Lightfoot in 1887,[2] and began his career with a curacy at Holy Trinity, Stockton-on-Tees.[3] He was Head of the Dublin University Mission to Chhöta Nagpur from 1891 to 1900 when he returned briefly to England to be Curate of St Mary Magdalene, Richmond, Surrey. In 1902 it was announced he would become the inaugural Bishop of Nagpur,[4] a post he held for 23 years. He died on 8 December 1950.[5]
Chatterton competed on the amateur tennis tour during the 1880s, and was ranked as World No. 5 for 1885 by Karoly Mazak (and No. 6 the following year).[6]
