Edward Mowll
Edward Worsfold Mowll (1881–1964) was an Anglican bishop, the fourth Bishop of Middleton.[1]
Educated at The King’s School, Canterbury and Jesus College, Cambridge,[2] he was ordained in 1905 and after a curacy at Leyton became secretary of the Church Pastoral-Aid Society. Incumbencies at Benwell, Southport and Oxford followed,[3] before he became Provost of Bradford Cathedral in 1933. Elevation to the Episcopate followed ten years later and he stayed in this, his final post, until retirement in 1951. A “kind and fatherly man”,[4] he died in 1964.
