(7 March 1887 – 9 May 1971), was the son of Isabel Louisa née Wolryche-Whitmore (1847–1905) and Robert Melvil Barry Otter, later Otter-Barry (1845–1917),[1] and great-grandson of William Otter, Bishop of Chichester. He was Bishop of Mauritius from 1931 to 1959.[2]
He was educated at Marlborough and Trinity College, Cambridge.[3] Ordained in 1910 he was initially a Curate at St Luke's Church, Chelsea[4] and then a missionary priest in Queensland. From 1919 until 1926 he was Vicar of Brill[5] and then began a long period of service to Mauritius — firstly as its Archdeacon; and then from 1931 as its diocesan bishop. He was consecrated a bishop on St Barnabas' Day 1931 (11 June), by Cosmo Lang, Archbishop of Canterbury, at St Paul's Cathedral.[6] He returned to England in 1959[7] where he continued to serve the Church as an Assistant Bishop within the Diocese of Peterborough until his death.[8]
A primary school in Mauritius, in the town of Curepipe, close to Farquhar Street, is named after Otter-Barry.
