Robert Edward Trefusis (24 January 1843 – 9 July 1930) was the first suffragan Bishop of Crediton from 1897 to 1930.[1]
Origins
[edit | edit source]Trefusis was born in Bideford in 1843, the second son of George Trefusis[2] (1793–1849), a younger son of Robert Trefusis, 17th Baron Clinton (1764–1797).[3]
Career
[edit | edit source]Trefusis was educated at Cheltenham College[4] and Exeter College, Oxford.[5] Ordained in 1866,[6] he began his ordained ministry as a curate in Buckingham. He was then appointed by his cousin Mark Rolle, Lord of the Manor and patron of the living, as Vicar of Chittlehampton.[7] The parish church of Chittlehampton was dedicated to the little-known St Urith, believed to have been a local Saxon maiden born and martyred within the parish, and Trefusis named one of his daughters Hyeritha Trefusis in her honour. She became known to local parishioners as "Miss Urith".[8]
He subsequently served for 33 years as Bishop suffragan of Crediton; he was also additionally Archdeacon of Barnstaple from 1909.[9] He was consecrated a bishop on St Matthias' Day (24 February 1897), by Frederick Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury, at St Paul's Cathedral.[10] He died on 9 July 1930.[11]
He celebrated the dedication of the Exeter War Memorial.[12]
