He was born on 11 July 1961,[4] the son of Canon Thomas Michael Rylands, sometime Vicar of Wilton and Rural Dean of Malpas.[6] He was educated at the College of St Hild and St Bede and Trinity College, Bristol.[7] He was ordained in 1988 and began his career with a curacy at St George's, Stockport.[8] He was then Vicar of Acton and Worleston, Cheshire and from 1997 to 2002 Team Rector for Langport, Somerset. Since then until his elevation to the Episcopate[9] he has been Diocesan Missioner and a Canon Residentiary at Exeter Cathedral.[10]
Rylands was consecrated a bishop at Westminster Abbey on 28 October 2009 and installed as Bishop of Shrewsbury at Lichfield Cathedral on 2 November 2009.[2]
His wife Amanda is also a priest and they have two adult children called Frances and Samuel, both of whom are studying at the University of Exeter and Nottingham respectively.
