Chavasse family


The Chavasse family in the West Midlands is a British family of Huguenot origin. Members of the family gained particular prominence as surgeons and clergymen. Members of the family still live in the United Kingdom today.

The Chavasse family is notable for counting amongst its ranks two Bishops of the Church of England, two Olympic athletes, a Knight Bachelor and one of only three people to be awarded a Victoria Cross twice. Bishop Francis Chavasse was instrumental in the building of Liverpool Cathedral and founded St Peter's College, Oxford.
