John Richard Allan Llewellin (born 30 September 1938) is a retired

Anglican bishop in the Church of England.[1][2][3][4][5]

Llewellin was educated at

episcopate as the suffragan Bishop of St Germans (1985–92). He was consecrated a bishop by Robert Runcie, Archbishop of Canterbury, on All Saints' Day 1985 (1 November) at Westminster Abbey.[10]

He later became the suffragan

Bishop at Lambeth and Chief of Staff to the Archbishop of Canterbury (then George Carey), a position he held until 2003. While serving as Bishop of Dover he was appointed an honorary fellow of Canterbury Christ Church University.[11] He also served as Chairman of the Anglican Society for the Welfare of Animals from 2004 until 2013.[12]

Llewellin was accused of failing to take appropriate action or to launch an investigation into General Synod member Jeremy Dowling in 1986. Llewellin was working in the Diocese of Truro from 1985. Dowling in 2015 was convicted of sex offences against boys whilst a school teacher in the 1970s. A 2018 case review found, “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.” Llewellin was one of four bishops in the diocese who failed to take action. When questioned by the inquiry stated he had no recollection of reading Dowling's file which contained details of past allegations that the Director of Public Prosecutions decided not to prosecute Dowling for in 1972.[13]
