Herbert Victor Turner (1888 – 10 March 1968) was the second Bishop of Penrith in the modern era.[1]

Educated at Merton College, Oxford,[2][3] he was successively curate at Sutton in Ashfield, vicar of St. Peter's Church, Nottingham,[4] then St. Mary's Church, Radcliffe on Trent[5] and canon of Southwell before his appointment to the episcopate.[2][6] He was consecrated a bishop on St James's Day 1944 (25 July), by Cyril Garbett, Archbishop of York, at York Minster.[7] He retired to Windermere after 14 years in post and died a decade later on 10 March 1968.
