Frederic Sumpter Guy Warman (5 November 1872 – 12 February 1953) was an Anglican bishop who held three separate episcopal appointments between 1919 and 1947.[1]
He was educated at Merchant Taylors'[2] and Pembroke College, Oxford[3] and ordained priest in 1896.[4] After a curacy at Leyton (1895–99) and Hastings (1899–1901), he was Vice Principal of St Aidan's College, Birkenhead. He was Vicar of Birkenhead from 1902 to 1907; Principal of St Aidan's College, Birkenhead from 1907 to 1916 and Vicar of Bradford from 1916 to 1919.[5] He was elevated to the episcopate in 1919.[6] After four years in Cornwall as Bishop of Truro[7] he was translated to Chelmsford in 1923 and six years later to Manchester.[8] His translation to Manchester was effected by the confirmation of his election, on 21 January 1929 at York Minster.[9]
From 1910 to 1914 he was editor of The Churchman jointly with Dawson Dawson-Walker, professor of Biblical Exegesis at Durham University.[10]
He retired in 1947[11] and died six years later. He had married Gertrude, the daughter of surveyor Norwood Earle, and had two sons. His son, Francis Frederic Guy, was later Archdeacon of Aston.
