These are portraits of my grandfather who was Bishop of Bristol from 1958-1975. He was born in 1908 and died in 1992.
Portraits from 1975 are on his retirement from Bristol. Portraits from 1952 coincide with the end of his work with the World Council of Churches prior to becoming Warden of Lincoln Theological College.
