Edward Pugh

William Edward Augustus Pugh (known as Edward;[1] 22 July 1909–4 January 1986) was the fifth Bishop of Penrith in the modern era.[2]

He was educated at Leeds University[3] and the College of the Resurrection, Mirfield.[4] Ordained in 1934 he began his career with a Curacy at Staveley, Derbyshire. From here he became Vicar of Norwell[5] and then Harrington along with his appointment as the first Archdeacon of West Cumberland.[6] Elevation to the Episcopate followed in 1970 — he was consecrated at York Minster on Michaelmas day (29 September) 1970[7] — and he retired nine years later.
