William Otter

William Otter

William Otter (1768 – August 1840) was the first Principal of King's College London who later served as Bishop of Chichester.

A fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge, he was ordained in 1791 and was later installed in the rectory of Colmworth in Bedfordshire in 1804. Otter subsequently served as a rector in Essex and Shropshire and his friendship with Dr George D'Oyly, soon to be instrumental in the foundation of King's, accounted for his installation as minister of St Marks, Kennington, in 1825. He was appointed Principal of King's College London in June 1831. Otter resigned in 1836 when he was made Bishop of Chichester. There he established a theological college that still bears his name.
