Philip Crick
Philip Charles Thurlow Crick was the Anglican Bishop of Rockhampton[1] in Australia from 1921 until 1927[2] and the Bishop of Ballarat until 1935.
Crick was born into a clerical family[3] on 18 November 1882 and educated at Winchester and Pembroke College, Cambridge. His first ministry position was as a curate at St Mary's Barnsley after which he was appointed Fellow[4] and then Dean of Clare College, Cambridge. After wartime service as a chaplain in the Forces he returned to Cambridge where he remained until his appointment to the episcopate.[5] He returned to England in 1935 and continued to serve in the Church of England as an assistant bishop in the Diocese of Derby but died only two years later at his wife's family home Densworth in Sussex on 12 July 1937.[6] He is buried at St Mary's Funtington, West Sussex.
