Ted Wickham
Edward Ralph "Ted" Wickham (3 November 1911 – 1994) was a long serving Bishop of Middleton.[1]
Wickham was educated at the University of London and was ordained in 1939. His first post was as chaplain at the Royal Ordnance factory at Swynnerton. His subsequent experience was largely based in industrial areas[2] and included a nine-year stint as a canon residentiary at Sheffield Cathedral.[3] From 1959 he was a suffragan bishop until his retirement in 1982. A noted ecumenicist he wrote widely on the churches' role in a changing world. His published works include Church and People in an Industrial City.[4]
