John Gott (25 December 1830 – 21 July 1906〔''The Times'', Monday, 23 July 1906; p. 4; Issue 38079; col D ''Death of the Bishop of Truro''〕) was the third Bishop of Truro〔(Genealogical website )〕 from 1891〔''New Bishop of Truro'' ''The Times'', 6 June 1891; p. 13; Issue 33344; col F〕 until his death in 1906. ==Life== Gott was born in Leeds〔(Gott family website )〕 on Christmas Day 1830, the third son of William Gott.〔Alumni Oxonienses〕 He was educated at Winchester and Brasenose College, Oxford.〔''Who was Who'' 1897–1990 London, A & C Black, 1991 ISBN 0-7136-3457-X〕 He then embarked on an ecclesiastical career with a curacy at Great Yarmouth, after which he held incumbencies at Bramley, Leeds, 1871–76,〔"The Clergy List, Clerical Guide and Ecclesiastical Directory" London, Hamilton & Co 1889〕 and at Leeds Parish Church,〔(Wakefield Museums )〕 where he also founded the Leeds Clergy School. His last post, before his ordination to the episcopate,〔(National Archives )〕 was as Dean of Worcester from 1886.〔(Robert Woodward Papers )〕 In 1891, Gott succeeded to the see of Truro on the resignation of George Howard Wilkinson. He was consecrated at St Paul's Cathedral on 29 September 1891. He saw in 1903 the completion of Truro Cathedral ; founded a bishop's clergy fund for the aid of clergy in time of ill-health or other necessity ; and diligently visited all parts of his diocese. A high churchman, but not a strong partisan, he signed in January 1901 the bishops' letter inviting clergy to accept the positions defined in the Lambeth 'Opinions.' He died suddenly at his residence, Trenython, near Par, on 21 July 1906 and was buried at Tywardreath. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Gott (bishop)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
