Rollo Graham Campbell

The Rt Revd Archibald Rollo Graham Campbell CBE (18 February 1903 – 11 April 1978) was an Anglican bishop in the mid-20th century.[1]

This British surname is barrelled, being made up of multiple names. It should be written as Graham Campbell, not Campbell.

Graham Campbell was educated at Eton[2] and King's College, Cambridge and after a period of study at Cuddesdon College was ordained deacon in 1926 and priest in 1927.[3] His career began with a curacy of St John, Middlesbrough.[4] Next he was an Assistant Master at his old school and then Vicar of St Paul, King Cross.[5] From 1942 until 1948 he was Fellow, Dean and Chaplain of his old college. In 1948 he became Anglican Bishop of Colombo,[6] a post he held for 16 years.[7] He was then Rector of Kislingbury until his retirement in 1968. He died as the result of injuries sustained in a snowstorm car crash.[8]
