Bernard Oliver Francis Heywood (1 March 1871 – 13 March 1960) was a bishop in the Church of England . [1] [2]
Family and education
Heywood was born into a distinguished ecclesiastical family, the sixth son of Henry Robinson Heywood, priest and honorary canon of Manchester Cathedral . [3] Bernard married Marion Maude and they had five sons and two daughters. He was educated at Sunningdale School , then Harrow School and Welldon. He went to Trinity College, Cambridge and graduated in 1892. [4]
Ministry
He was made deacon in the Church of England on Trinity Sunday 1894 (20 May) [5] and ordained priest the following Trinity Sunday (9 June 1895) — both times by James Moorhouse , Bishop of Manchester , at Manchester Cathedral . [6] He was Vicar of St Paul's Church, Bury from 1897 to 1906; Vicar of St Peter's Church, Swinton from 1906 to 1916; and Vicar of Leeds Parish Church from 1916 to 1926.
In January 1926, Heywood's nomination to become the next Bishop of Southwell was approved; [7] since that diocese had no Dean and Chapter at the time, his appointment was effected not by election [8] but by letters patent dated 1 February [9] and he was consecrated a bishop on Lady Day (25 March), by Randall Davidson , Archbishop of Canterbury , at Westminster Abbey . [10] He served that diocese until ill-health necessitated his resignation, which was accepted before 11 May 1928. [11]
From June 1929 onwards, Heywood served as an Assistant Bishop of York with oversight of the East Riding [12] ( Francis Gurdon , Bishop of Hull , resigned in ill-health effective 1 July 1929) [13] Heywood himself was then appointed to succeed Gurdon as suffragan Bishop of Hull in July 1931 [14] and Archdeacon of the East Riding the same year. [15] He served in both posts until 1934, when he became Bishop of Ely , [16] retiring (again in ill health) in 1940/41. [17]
From October 1942 to 1951 he was Assistant Bishop of St Albans . [18] Heywood died in Winslow, Buckinghamshire , to where he had retired in 1951. [19]
