Cecil de Carteret
George Frederick Cecil de Carteret (1886[1] – 3 January 1932)[2] was an Anglican cleric, and the long-serving Bishop of Jamaica from 1916 until 1931.
He was educated at Wadham College, Oxford[3] and ordained in 1889.[4] His first posts were curacies at Canterbury, Tulse Hill, and Cheltenham. Later he held incumbencies at St Paul's, Southwark and Christ Church, East Greenwich.[5]
In 1913 he was appointed Assistant Bishop of Jamaica before unanimous election[6] to be its diocesan bishop three years later. He was consecrated a bishop on 18 October 1913 by Randall Davidson, Archbishop of Canterbury,[7] at Southwark Cathedral.[8]
He resigned the See of Jamaica effective 21 March 1931 and returned to England,[6] where his appointment as an Assistant Bishop of Leicester was announced for 1 January 1932;[9] but he was very ill,[10] and (having become a Doctor of Divinity (DD))[11] he died in convalescence in Canterbury on 3 January,[12] not having been able to take up the Leicester appointment.
