Charles Benjamim Dowse[1] (21 September 1862–13 January 1934)[2] was the Bishop of Killaloe, Kilfenora, Clonfert and Kilmacduagh who soon after his consecration in June 1912[3] was translated to Cork.
Born on 21 September 1862[4] into an ecclesiastical family[5] and educated at Trinity College, Dublin, he was ordained in 1885.[6] His first posts were curacies at St. Catherine's Church, Dublin; Christ Church, Gorey and St Matthias Church, Dublin. After these he was Vicar of Christ Church, Dublin from 1900 to 1912; and Professor of Pastoral Theology at his old college from 1907. In June 1912 he was elevated to the episcopate,[7] serving until September 1933. He died on 13 January 1934, leaving estate valued at £3,853 net.[8]
