Thomas Sherwood Jones

The Rt Rev Thomas Sherwood Jones (also rendered Sherwood-Jones)[1] was the Anglican Suffragan Bishop of Hulme in Manchester, Britain, from 1930 until 1945.[2]

This British surname is barrelled, being made up of multiple names. It should be written as Sherwood Jones, not Jones.

He was born on 4 March 1872[3] and educated at Durham University and ordained in 1899.[4] He was curate of St Martin-in-the-Fields, Liverpool then held incumbencies in Toxteth and Birkenhead and then Rural Dean of Middleton before his elevation to the episcopate.[5] A Centenarian, he died on 16 October 1972. His son Norman also became a priest and bishop, serving as Assistant Bishop of Lagos.[6]
