Lionel Payne Crawfurd (1864–1934) was the second Suffragan Bishop of Stafford.[1]
Educated at Eton and Balliol College, Oxford,[2] he was ordained in 1890 and began his career with a curacy at St Cuthbert’s Gateshead.[3] He was then successively Vice Principal of Leeds Clergy School, Bishop's Chaplain in Adelaide, and Secretary of the Home Missionary Society.[4] In June 1902 he was asked to return to Gateshead as Vicar,[5] and was then incumbent at Ramsgate and Ashford, Kent,[2] before ascending to the Episcopate in 1915, a post he held for 19 years. A deeper thinker[6] his Times obituary described him as “a kind, approachable man with a deep love of the countryside[7]".
