Alfred Clifford was the inaugural Bishop of Lucknow from 1893 until 1910[1]. Born in 1849 and educated at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge[2] he was ordained in 1872 and, after a brief period as Curate at St Nicholas Nottingham[3], emigrated to India. Here he worked for the Church Missionary Society before gaining the post of Chaplain to the Bishop of Calcutta in 1885. Eight years later he ascended to the Episcopate [4], a post he held for seventeen years. In retirement he returned to England and served as Vicar of Stoke Bishop.
