Peter Mumford (bishop)
Peter Mumford (14 October 1922 – 1992[1]) was a bishop of the Church of England. He was the Bishop of Hertford from 1974 to 1981[2] and the Bishop of Truro from 1981 to 1989.[3]

Mumford wrote an autobiography, including "reflections", called Quick-eyed Love Observing (the title alludes to a poem by George Herbert), which was published after his death.
Mumford failed to take action or to launch an investigation into Jeremy Dowling, who was later convicted of sex offences against boys. A review in 2018 found that "There is no doubt that there were a number of missed opportunities for the diocese of Truro to undertake its own investigations into the allegations made in 1972 against Jeremy Dowling."[6]
