Wentworth Francis Wentworth-Sheilds (sometimes known as Francis; also spelled Shields; 1867 – 13 September 1944) was an Anglican bishop in the first half of the 20th century.[1]

He was born in 1867 and educated at St Paul's and London University.[2] Ordained in 1899,[3] he began his career with curacies at St John the Baptist, Plumstead and St George's, Bloomsbury, England.

In 1902 he married Annie Carpenter, the daughter of Bishop William Boyd Carpenter in Yorkshire, England.[4]

In 1903 he sailed to Australia where he was initially Precentor of St Saviour's Cathedral, Goulburn and then Archdeacon of Wagga-Wagga. Later he was Warden of Bishop's College, Goulburn and then, later, the second Bishop of Armidale,[5][6] a post he held for 13 years (1916-1929).

On his return to England he was Warden of St Deiniol's Library, Hawarden.[7] He died on 12 September 1944.[8][9][10]
