Charles Alfred Howell Green (1864 – 1944) was the first bishop of the newly established diocese of Monmouth (1921-1928) and subsequently Bishop of Bangor (1928-1944) during which time he also served as Archbishop of Wales (1934-1944). During the latter period he was assisted by a bishop of Maenan, the only instance of a place-name being given for this purpose subsequent to Disestablishment.

Cultured but with a reputation for authoritarianism, a representative of the High Church tradition, Green wrote a definitive guide to the constitution of the Church in Wales.
