Bernard Pawley

Bernard Clinton Pawley (24 January 1911 – 15 November 1981) was an Anglican priest.

He was born in Portsmouth, Hampshire,[1][2] educated at Portsmouth Grammar School and Wadham College, Oxford and ordained in 1936.[3] After curacies in Stoke on Trent and Leeds he was a chaplain to the British Armed Forces between 1940 and 1945. When peace returned he was Rector of Elland and then a canon residentiary at Ely Cathedral.[4] After a brief spell in a similar role at St Paul's Cathedral he was appointed Archdeacon of Canterbury in 1972, a post he held for nine years. A noted commentator on Vatican affairs,[5] he died in 1981.[6]
