Edward Latham Bevan[1] (27 October 1861[2] – 2 February 1934)[3] was a Welsh churchman, the inaugural Bishop of Swansea and Brecon from 1923[4] until his death, having previously been the final suffragan Bishop of Swansea.
Life
Born in Weymouth on 27 October 1861[2] he was the son of William Latham Bevan and Louisa Dew,[5] and nephew of George Phillips Bevan. He was educated at Hertford College, Oxford[6] (whence he gained the degree MA (Oxon)) and ordained in 1886.[7]
He began his career with a curacy [8] at Holy Trinity, Weymouth [9] after which he was Chaplain [10] of the Gordon’ Home for Boys[11] until 1907 when he became Archdeacon of Brecon. He was first appointed to the episcopate as the Bishop of Swansea, a suffragan bishop in the Diocese of St Davids,[12] ordained and consecrated a bishop on 29 September 1915, by Randall Davidson, Archbishop of Canterbury, at Canterbury Cathedral;[13] before becoming the first Bishop of Swansea and Brecon upon the erection of that diocese eight years later.[14] At some point he gained a Doctorate of Divinity (DD).
