Titley, Walter, 1700-1768 : British envoy extraordinary at Copenhagen, Denmark.

Walter Titley (1700-1768) was the son of a Staffordshire man, Abraham Titley. A King's scholar at Westminster in 1714, he went on to Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated B.A. in 1722 and M.A. in 1726. He entered the diplomatic service and became secretary of the British embassy at Turin.

On 3 January 1729, he was selected to act as chargé d'affaires at Copenhagen in the absence of Lord Glenorchy, and on 3 November 1730 was named envoy-extraordinary. In 1733, Titley was appointed to the physic-fellowship at Trinity College, Cambridge, and resigned his diplomatic position to accept it. He missed his life in Copenhagen so much, however, that he resumed his post and held it for the remainder of his life. In 1763, he was granted an assistant on the grounds of his age and infirmity. He died at Copenhagen, greatly respected and lamented, in February 1768.
