Arthur Winnington-Ingram

Arthur Foley Winnington-Ingram, KCVO (January 26, 1858 - 1946) was Bishop of London from 1901 to 1939.

He was born in Worcestershire, the fourth son of The Rev. E. Winnington Ingram and of Louisa (daughter of Henry Pepys, Bishop of Worcester). Ingram was educated at Marlborough College and Keble College, Oxford.

He was a private tutor, 1881-84; curate at St. Mary's, Shrewsbury, 1884-85; private chaplain to the Bishop of Lichfield, 1885-89; head of Oxford House Settlement [http://www.oxfordhouse.org.uk/template.php?ID=4&PageName=history] , Bethnal Green 1889-97, chaplain to the Archbishop of York, 1889; rector of Bethnal Green, 1895; rural dean of Spitalfields, 1896; canon of St Paul's Cathedral, 1897 and the second suffragan bishop of Stepney (1897 - 1901) ("Who's Who", 1901).

In 1901, after the death of Dr Mandell Creighton, he was nominated to the see of London, and he was in the same year appointed as a Privy Counsellor. As a preacher he proved very successful. He was a leader in social work in London's East End.

During World War I he threw himself into supporting the war effort and visited the troops on both the Western Front and at Salonica and the Grand Fleet. For his war work he was Mentioned in Despatches and awarded the Grand Cross of the Order of the Redeemer (Greece) and the Order of St. Sava, 1st Class (Serbia). He never married, although he was briefly engaged whilst bishop of Stepney.
