Memorial to Edward Carr Glyn, Peterborough Cathedral

After a

Honorary Chaplain to the Queen and was the Bishop of Peterborough from 1897 until 1916.[10] His election to the See of Peterborough was confirmed at St Mary-le-Bow on 22 February[11] and he was consecrated a bishop on St Matthias' Day (24 February 1897), by Frederick Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury, at St Paul's Cathedral.[12]

Carr Glyn displayed his total support for British involvement in the First World War three weeks after War was declared. In a sermon in the Cathedral for Christians of all denominations, he said ‘This war has been unsought and undesired by us. We are not fighting for increase of dominion or for enlargement of territory, but in spite of every endeavour to maintain the peace of Europe we now find ourselves necessarily and inevitably involved in a war which in severity and endurance is likely to surpass the recorded wars of English history’.[13] He praised parents, sisters, lovers and friends for letting family members go off to the War.[13] He sanctioned a prayer for animals suffering in the War,[14] instituted parochial Rolls of Honour of those serving in the forces[15] and had church bells ring at noon each day as a call to private prayer.[15] He lost a son in the War.[16]

Carr Glyn died in St George[17] on 14 November 1928, aged 84.[2][18]
