Mark Trollope
Mark Napier Trollope was the third Bishop in Korea from 1911[1] until his death.[2] Born on 28 March 1862 and educated at Lancing College and New College, Oxford,[3] he was ordained in 1888. After a curacy at Great Yarmouth he spent a decade with the missionary team in Korea.[4] Returning to England he was successively Vicar of St Saviour's, Poplar[5] and St Alban the Martyr, Bordesley.[6] After some debate[7] he was appointed to the post to which many others felt he was so suited.
He served as President of the Royal Asiatic Society, Korea Branch for 13 years. A keen chronicler of the emerging church,[8] he died of a heart attack on 6 November 1930, brought about by shock when the ship on which he was returning from Europe after attending the Lambeth Conference collided with another vessel while entering harbour in Japan.
