12th Bishop Clergy Coronation Cyril Forster Jul17 Sixth Winchester 1937 Elizabeth
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking black and white portrait, Cyril Forster Garbett (1878-1942), the 63rd Bishop of Winchester, is depicted in solemn contemplation. The photograph, taken in 1937, captures Garbett in his full ecclesiastical regalia, wearing the traditional mitre and collar of his office. The Bishop's serious expression and piercing gaze convey a sense of profound wisdom and spiritual authority. The background of the image is simple, with a plain, dark backdrop that allows the Bishop's features and attire to take center stage. A small dog lies at his feet, adding a touch of warmth and companionship to the image. At the time this photograph was taken, Garbett was an important figure in the Church of England and the wider religious community. He had been appointed Bishop of Winchester in 1932, and had played a prominent role in the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in 1937. His presence at the coronation was a testament to his high standing within the Church and his close relationship with the monarch. Garbett's tenure as Bishop of Winchester was marked by his dedication to the welfare of his diocese and his commitment to social justice. He was a strong advocate for the poor and the marginalized, and worked tirelessly to improve living conditions in the city of Winchester and beyond. His legacy as a compassionate and effective leader continues to be celebrated by the people of Winchester and the wider Church community. This photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable man, a man of faith and compassion who dedicated his life to serving his community and upholding the traditions of the Church. It is a powerful reminder of the enduring role of religious leaders in shaping the fabric of our society and inspiring us to be our best selves.
