Portrait of Thomas Fanshaw Middleton (1769-1822), an Anglian Bishop, who became the first Bishop of Calcutta in 1814, this included not only India but also the entire territory of the British East India Company. Upon his arrival in India, he discovered that he was prohibited from ordaining "Natives of India," as all ordinations were conducted by the East India Company in London. In response, he established Bishop's College in Calcutta, which admitted British, Indian, and Anglo-Indian students, some of whom were eligible to pursue ordination. However, despite being designed to accommodate seventy students, the college had only enrolled eight students even fourteen years after its founding. He died in Calcutta of sunstroke on 8 July 1822.
