Sir David John Charlton Meyrick, 4th Baronet (2 December 1926 – 6 February 2004) was a British agriculturalist and rower who competed for Great Britain in the 1948 Summer Olympics.
Meyrick was born in
Boat Races. Most of the Cambridge crew of 1948 also rowed for Leander Club and Meyrick stroked the eight at Henley Royal Regatta. The Leander eight were selected to row for Great Britain in the 1948 Summer Olympics and won the silver medal.[2]
After university, Meyrick became resident land agent on the
baronetcy on the death of his father in 1983 and inherited the family home at Gumfreston.[3]
He was on the Council of the National Farmers Union and the Country Landowners' and Rural Business Association in Pembrokeshire.[1]
Meyrick suffered a stroke at the age of 60 and died at Pembroke at the age of 77.
