David Loveday
David Goodwin Loveday (13 April 1896 – 7 April 1985)[1] was an Anglican bishop during the second half of the 20th century.
He was educated at Shrewsbury School,[2] and after World War I service with the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry[3] he went up to Magdalene College, Cambridge. Ordained in 1924, his first posts were chaplaincies at Aldenham School and Malvern,[4] after which he became Headmaster of Cranleigh School from 1931 to 1954. He was then appointed Archdeacon of Dorking[5] before his elevation to the episcopate as the 3rd Bishop suffragan of Dorchester in 1957.[6] Retiring after 14 years, he continued to serve the Church as an assistant bishop within the Diocese of Oxford until his death.
