Captain Edward Henry Fothergill (c. 1834–1896) was a seaman from Sussex who became a hotelier. He leased the Crown & Thistle Hotel from Pearse & Owston from 1881, renovated it and named it the Cleopatra Hotel after his ship, bought it in the early 1890s, and owned it until his death at the hotel. His son was also named Edward Henry Fothergill.
