St Barbe Holland

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Herbert St Barbe Holland (15 October 1882 – 9 June 1966) was an Anglican bishop in the 20th century.[1][2]

Holland was born in 1882,[3] the youngest of three sons of Canon William Lyall Holland of Cornhill-on-Tweed. He was educated at Durham School and University College, Oxford and ordained in 1908.[4]

Following a curacy at Jesmond Parish Church[5] he became Vicar of St Luke's, Newcastle upon Tyne.[6] From 1917 until 1924 he was Secretary of the Church Missionary Society and then Sub-Dean of Coventry. Finally (before his ordination to the episcopate) he was rector of Hampton Lucy, Warwickshire and, from 1929, the Archdeacon of Warwick.[7] In 1936 he became Bishop of Wellington, NZ.[8] A decade later he returned to England[9] as Dean of Norwich.[10] A friend of Clement Attlee,[11] he died in 1966, aged 83[12] and later had a street in Norwich named in his honour.[13]

His son was the Rt Revd John Holland, Bishop of Polynesia.
