Cecil de Carteret

George Frederick Cecil de Carteret (1886[1] – 3 January 1932)[2] was an Anglican cleric, and the long-serving Bishop of Jamaica from 1916 until 1931.

He was educated at Wadham College, Oxford[3] and ordained in 1889.[4] His first posts were curacies at Canterbury, Tulse Hill, and Cheltenham.[5] Later he held incumbencies at St Paul's, Southwark and Christ Church, East Greenwich.[6]

In 1913 he was appointed Assistant Bishop of Jamaica before unanimous election[7] to be its diocesan bishop three years later. He was consecrated a bishop on 18 October 1913 by Randall Davidson, Archbishop of Canterbury,[8] at Southwark Cathedral.[9]

He resigned the See of Jamaica effective 21 March 1931 and returned to England,[7] where his appointment as an Assistant Bishop of Leicester was announced for 1 January 1932;[10] but he was very ill,[11] and (having become a Doctor of Divinity (DD))[12] he died in convalescence in Canterbury on 3 January,[13] not having been able to take up the Leicester appointment.
