George Forrest Browne was the inaugural Anglican Bishop of Stepney from 1895[1] until 1897[2] when he was appointed Bishop of Bristol. He was born in 1833 [3] and educated at St Peter's School, York and St Catharine's College, Cambridge [4] before embarking on his career with a post combining the roles of Chaplain and Lecturer there. After an Incumbency at Ashley, Cambridgeshire he rose steadily in the Church’s hierarchy . From 1891 until 1895 he was Canon Residentiary at St Paul's Cathedral before elevation to the Suffragan Bishopric of the Diocese of London (from now on named Bishop of Stepney), a post he held until he attained Full Bishop Status with promotion to the See of Bristol. A prolific academic author[5] he died on 1 June 1930.
