John Wareing Bardsley (29 March 1835 – 14 March 1914) was the Bishop of Carlisle.
He was the son of Canon James Bardsley, once a Bradford curate. As a boy he lived in Church Street, Burnley, attending Burnley Grammar School between 1843-48.[1] He continued his education at Manchester Grammar School[2] and Trinity College, Dublin.
He began his career as a curate at St Anne's Sale[3] after which he held incumbencies at St John's, Bootle[4] and then St Saviour's, Liverpool.[5] From 1880 to 1886 he was Archdeacon of Warrington and then Archdeacon of Liverpool for a year before his ordination to the episcopate as Bishop of Sodor and Man in 1887. In 1891 he was translated to Carlisle,[6] a post he held until his death on 14 March 1914.[7]
He died in 1914 and was buried at Roughtonhead near Carlisle. Whilst at Bootle he had married Mary Powell with whom he had five children.[8]
