Talk:Bishop of Ludlow

There was an earlier Bishop of Ludlow

There was an earlier Bishop suffragan of Ludlow who was lived locally in Ludlow, whose period of office was late 1940s/1950s to early 1960s, whose surname was Sara (I forget his Christian name). My late grandfather dealt with him when his small building firm put a new heating system in St Laurence's during the 1950s (the business liquidated in 1958). He died after retirement and he has a memorial in St Laurence's. (Those living locally to Ludlow could look that up.) I am sure he is lookable up in Who Was Who and Crockford's during his lifetime, although his year of death escapes my memory.Cloptonson (talk) 18:01, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

I take back this question. I have discovered although Edmund Sara was known as Bishop of Ludlow, he was officially titled Assistant Bishop of Hereford (first of only two such appointments) while also Rector of Ludlow and already has a wikipedia article in his own right. It seems the tendency to call him Bishop of Ludlow may have arisen from a popular conflation of his two appointment titles.Cloptonson (talk) 12:57, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
