John Ralph Strickland Taylor[1] (13 December 1883 – 13 December 1961) was Bishop of Sodor and Man[2] from 1942 to 1954.[3]
Early life, family and education
Taylor was born on 13 December 1883 and educated at Marlborough and Pembroke College, Cambridge, and trained for the ministry at Ridley Hall, Cambridge. His father, John Charles, was also a priest who served as Vicar of Harmondsworth.[4]
He married Margaret Garrett in 1913, and they had two sons and two daughters: one daughter, Leila Margaret, was born in 1920; and one son, John Vernon Taylor, was also a priest, later becoming Bishop of Winchester.[5]
Ordained ministry
Taylor was made a deacon on
London College of Divinity from 1945 onwards.[5]
Taylor was consecrated as a bishop at
Feast of the Epiphany (6 January) 1943.[14] His appointment to Sodor and Man was made partly on the recommendation of the Bishop of Worcester who thought that Taylor's experience at Ridley Hall would help the theological college on the island.[TNA PREM5/338].[15]
Taylor retired in 1954 and died on 13 December 1961.
