Born in Croft, Yorkshire, Chaytor was the son of Henry Chaytor and his wife Jane (née Smales). He entered Magdalene College, Cambridge in 1750 and was admitted to Lincoln's Inn in 1753.[1] He served as a Recorder of Richmond and sat as Member of Parliament for Penryn from 1774 to 1780 and Hedon from 1780 to 1790.
