Lloyd Crossley

Owen Thomas Lloyd Crossley (b 30 April 1860 - d 3 March 1926) was the 4th Anglican Bishop of Auckland for a short period during the second decade of the 20th century[1]. Educated at the Belfast Academy and Trinity College, Dublin [2] he began his ecclesiastical career with a curacy at Sea Patrick County Down [3]. Incumbencies at Egremont[4] and Almondbury[5] were followed by a period as Archdeacon of Geelong before he was elevated to the episcopate in 1911. Ill health prompted his return from New Zealand two years later [6] and he served the remainder of his career as Rector of St Andrew's Major near Cardiff[7]. He died in a road accident[8].
