Alfred Rose (bishop)

Alfred Carey Wollaston Rose (1884–1971[1]) was the sixth Bishop of Dover in the modern era,[2][3] from 1935[4] to 1956[5]

He was educated at Marlborough, and Worcester College, Oxford.

Rose began his presbyterate with a curacy at St Mary, Somers Town, in London; after which he served as a Naval Chaplain during World War I.

When peace returned, he became Warden of the Bishop's Hostel, Lincoln; and after this was successively Vicar of Haigh, Greater Manchester, Rural Dean of Brighton and a Chaplain to The King before his ordination to the episcopate.[6]

In retirement he continued to serve the Church as an Assistant Bishop within the Diocese of Canterbury and as a Sub-Prelate of The Order of St John of Jerusalem.

His son, Sir Clive Rose was a diplomat who served as Permanent Representative to the North Atlantic Council.
