Albert Peter Hall (2 September 1930 – 27 December 2013) was the Bishop of Woolwich from 1984 until 1996[1] and the first area bishop under the 1991 area scheme.[2][3]

Hall was educated at Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School, Blackburn and St John's College, Cambridge.[4] Ordained in 1956 he began his ministry as a curate at St Martin's, Birmingham after which he was the Rector of Avondale, Harare and then St Martin in the Bull Ring, Birmingham before his ordination to the episcopate. A keen mountain walker, he was married with two sons[5] and in retirement continued to serve the church as an honorary assistant bishop in the Diocese of Birmingham.
