Edward Were

Edward Ash Were (14 November 1846–8 April 1915^[1]) was an Anglican suffragan bishop in the latter part of the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th.

He was educated at Rugby School^[2] and New College, Oxford.^[3] After graduation he was an Assistant Master at Winchester College for ten years before becoming Vicar of North Bradley in Wiltshire. After a spell as Chaplain to George Ridding, Bishop of Southwell he became the first, and long serving, Bishop of Derby (then a suffragan bishop in the Diocese of Southwell).^[4] In 1909 in a sideways move he was translated to the Diocese of Lichfield to be their suffragan Bishop of Stafford.^[5] His son, who perished in the First World War, was also a distinguished clergyman.^[6]
