Francis de Witt Batty (known as De Witt;[1] 10 January 1879-3 April 1961[2]) was the Anglican Bishop of Newcastle, New South Wales from 1931 until his retirement in 1958.
De Witt Batty was educated at St Paul's School, London and Balliol College, Oxford[3] He was ordained in 1903 and his first position was as a curate at Hornsey where he was asked a year later by the outgoing rector, St Clair Donaldson, to accompany him as his chaplain when Donaldson was appointed Archbishop of Brisbane.[4] In 1915 he was appointed a residential canon at St John's Cathedral, Brisbane and in 1925 the cathedral's dean. He was ordained to the episcopate in 1930.[5] He once called his see as "the most enviable diocese in Australia".[1]
In his obituary in The Times, he was described as being "one of the most outstanding Englishmen ever to dedicate his life to public service in Australia".[6]
