Henry Southwell (bishop)
Memorial within Chichester Cathedral
Henry Kemble Southwell (1860 – 9 March 1937) was the third Bishop of Lewes from 1920 until 1926.
Born in 1860, and educated at Charterhouse and Magdalen College, Oxford,[1] he held curacies at Ellesmere in Shropshire, St Clement's in Bournemouth and St Nicolas in Guildford; then incumbencies at Chetton[2][3] and Bodmin before becoming a Canon Residentiary of Chichester Cathedral.[4] Elevated to the Episcopate, initially with the additional title of Archdeacon of Lewes,[5] in 1920 he held office for six years and died on 9 March 1937,[6] his son having predeceased him during the First World War.[7] A fund initiated after his death yielded enough contributions to provide a memorial,[8] which can be seen at St Cuthman Whitehawk in Brighton.[9]
