William Sedgwick (bishop)
The Rt Rev William Walmsley Sedgwick (1858–1948[1]) was the 5th Anglican Bishop of Waiapu whose Episcopate spanned a 15-year period during the first half of the 20th century.
Born at Freemantle in Southampton,[2] William Sedgwick was educated at Christ's College, Cambridge[3][4] and ordained in 1882.[5] He embarked on his career with a curacy at St. John The Baptist, Wateringbury and a short spell as a Naval Chaplain.[6] Later he held incumbencies in Hockley Heath, Vryburg and Bedford, Eastern Cape. From 1897 to 1900 he was Chaplain to the Earl of Home[7] and between 1900 and 1914 he worked in New Zealand,[8] eventually becoming Bishop of Waiapu. His last post was as Vicar of Detling.[9]
