Forrest Browne

George Forrest Browne (4 December 1833 – 1 June 1930) was an English bishop, the first Anglican Bishop of Stepney from 1895^[1] until 1897^[2] when he was appointed Bishop of Bristol.

Browne was born in 1833^[3] and educated at St Peter's School, York and St Catharine's College, Cambridge, gaining his BA as 30th wrangler in 1856.^[4] Elected a fellow of St Catharines, he embarked on his career with a post combining the roles of Chaplain and Lecturer there. From 1887 to 1892 he was Disney Professor of Archaeology. After an Incumbency at Ashley, Cambridgeshire he rose steadily in the Church’s hierarchy. From 1891 until 1895 he was Canon Residentiary at St Paul's Cathedral before elevation to the Suffragan Bishopric of the Diocese of London (from now on named Bishop of Stepney), a post he held until he attained diocesan bishop status with promotion to the See of Bristol. A prolific academic author, he died on 1 June 1930.
