Edward Were
Edward Ash Were (14 November 1846–8 April 1915[1]) was an Anglican suffragan bishop in the latter part of the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th.
He was educated at Rugby School[2] and New College, Oxford.[3] After graduation, he was an Assistant Master at Winchester College for ten years before becoming Vicar of North Bradley in Wiltshire. After a spell as Chaplain to George Ridding, Bishop of Southwell he became the first, and long serving, Bishop of Derby (then a suffragan bishop in the Diocese of Southwell).[4] In 1909 in a sideways move he was translated to the Diocese of Lichfield to be their suffragan Bishop of Stafford.[5] His son, who perished in the First World War, was also a distinguished clergyman.[6]
