William Champion Streatfeild

William Champion Streatfeild (1 September 1865[1] – 15 February 1929) was the Anglican Bishop of Lewes.[2] He was a descendant of the historic Streatfeild family, the father of the novelist Noel Streatfeild,[3] and appears as the beloved but over-saintly father of the heroine, Victoria, in her autobiographical novel A Vicarage Family.
