Humphrey Vincent Taylor (5 March 1938 – 17 February 2021)[1] was an English Anglican clergyman who served as the sixth Suffragan Bishop of Selby.[2]
Biography
He was educated at Twyford, Harrow and Pembroke College, Cambridge.[3] After training for ordination at the College of the Resurrection, Mirfield, he was ordained deacon in 1963 and priest in 1964.[4] He began his career with a curacy in Hammersmith[2] and was then successively Rector of Lilongwe, Malaŵi, a chaplain at Bishop Grosseteste College in Lincoln, a Church administrator (firstly for the Synod; latterly for the USPG) before appointment to the Episcopate as Bishop suffragan of Selby — a post he held from 1991 until 2003.[5] In retirement he continued to minister as an honorary assistant bishop in the Dioceses of Gloucester (2003–2013) and of Worcester, in which he had settled at Honeybourne, Worcestershire[6] (2003–2016).[7]
Taylor died in February 2021 at the age of 82, less than one month short of his 83rd birthday.[1]
