Rt. Rev. George Carnac Fisher (1844 – 1921) was Bishop of Southampton from 1896 to 1898 and Ipswich from 1899[1] to 1906. Born in 1844[2] he was educated at Harrow School and Brasenose College, Oxford. In 1874 he was appointed Vicar of Forest Row in 1874, transferring to St George, Barrow in Furness[3] in 1879 and Croydon ten years later. Appointed to Southampton to succeed Awdry, he was later translated to Ipswich, a post he held until ill health[4] necessitated his resignation in January 1906.
George Fisher died at his home in Fleggburgh on 9 April 1921. He was the father of George Kenneth Thompson Fisher (died 3 September 1917).[5]
