#William Thomson# (1861-1862). Became Archbishop of York in 1862.

#Charles John Ellicott# (1863-). One of the ablest of modern divines. He
was chairman for eleven years of the New Testament Revision Committee.
He has published commentaries on various epistles; also works on
"Scripture and its Interpretation," "Modern Scepticism"; also a
commentary for English Readers on the Old and also on the New Testament.

The sees of Gloucester and Bristol were separated in 1897, and the
separation took effect as from January 1st, 1898.


THE CITY OF GLOUCESTER

Gloucester has always been a town of importance, owing to its situation.
A Roman camp was formed here in A.D. 43, and later it was fortified with
a massive wall (of which the traces still survive), as befitted a
military post equal in importance to Cirencester, Winchester,
Chichester, and Colchester. Much of modern Gloucester rests on Roman
foundations.
