Also known as: Arthur J Hopkinson; primary name: Hopkinson, Arthur J
Details: individual; official; photographer; British; Male
Life dates: 1894-1953
Biography: Last British Political Officer and Resident in Sikkim. Visited Tibet in 1926 and again in 1947 with his wife Eleanor during which time they made a month’s tour of the Tibetan administrative centres of Shigatse, Gyantse and Sakya in order to tell the authorities, at the behest of Whitehall, that the British were leaving India and thenceforth they would be dealing with an independent India. On September 1, 1948, Arthur Hopkinson handed over his post to his Indian successor. Arthur Hopkinson became an Anglican clergyman in Whitby and died in 1953. Eleanor Hopkinson was born on December 24, 1905 and died on March 16, 2007. For her obituary see the The Times (3 May 2007).
