Frank Valentine Weston (16 September 1935 – 29 April 2003) was Bishop of Knaresborough from 1997[1] until his death.
Weston was born into a clerical family,[2] he was educated at Christ's Hospital and The Queen's College, Oxford[3] (BA 1960, MA 1964[4]). He then studied for ordination at Lichfield Theological College.
Weston was a curate in Atherton (1961-65).[5][6] Then began an association of more than 20 years with the College of the Ascension at Selly Oak, initially as chaplain (1965–69) and then as principal (1969–76).[6] From 1973 until 1976 he was also Vice-President of Selly Oak Colleges and from 1976 until 1982 Principal and Pantonian Professor at Edinburgh Theological College.[7] In 1982 he was appointed Archdeacon of Oxford and a residentiary canon of Christ Church, Oxford.[6] He remained in this position until 1997 and continued his association with Christ Church with an appointment as "emeritus student", a position roughly equivalent to an emeritus fellowship.[7]
Weston was appointed the suggragan Bishop of Knaresborough in 1997 and held office until his death in 2003.[8]
