Cyril Golding-Bird

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cyril Henry Golding-Bird was an Anglican bishop in the early decades of the 20th century.

He was born on 18 September 1876 and educated at Merchant Taylors' and Lincoln College, Oxford.^[1] Ordained in 1897^[2] he was initially a curate at All Saint’s Margaret Street^[3] and then a missionary priest in South Africa.

After time as vicar of St Barnabas', Dover, he began a long period of service overseas: first as Dean of the Falkland Islands; then a similar post in Newcastle, New South Wales following which he was ordained to the episcopate as Bishop of Kalgoorlie.

Translated to Bishop of Mauritius in 1919, he returned to England eleven years after to become an assistant bishop in the Diocese of Guildford^[4] and as Archdeacon of Dorking, then in Surrey, until his death on 9 April 1955.^[5]
