Cecil Wilson (bishop of Middleton)

Cecil Wilfred Wilson (10 May 1875 – c. 13 August 1937) was an Anglican bishop, the second Bishop of Middleton from 1932 until 1937.[1]

Educated at Norwich School and Corpus Christi College, Cambridge,[2] he was Vicar of St James's, Holloway,[3] then St Mary's, Swansea (where he was also a Canon of Brecon Cathedral) and finally Archdeacon of Bradford. During his last year before ascending to the Episcopate he was also the inaugural Provost of Bradford Cathedral. A prominent Freemason,[4] he had a "sympathetic understanding of the poor".[5]

The bishop was discovered dead at home by his son-in-law on 16 August, after returning the prior Thursday, 12 August, from a lengthy vacation with his family, who had remained behind.[5] Milk delivered that Thursday had been brought into the house but not milk left the next day. He had recently complained of heart problems.[6]
