EDITORS COMMENTS
John Percival (1834-1918), a distinguished figure in the Anglican Church and a renowned educational leader of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, is depicted in this photograph from the early 1900s. Percival served as the Bishop of Hereford from 1895 until his retirement in 1917. Before his episcopal career, he made significant contributions to the educational landscape of England as the first headmaster of Clifton College and the headmaster of Rugby School. The Bishop sits gracefully in this image, his white hair framing a thoughtful expression. He wears the full vestments of his ecclesiastical office, the rich colors and intricate design adding a sense of solemnity and dignity to the scene. The photograph captures the essence of the Edwardian era, with its emphasis on tradition, formality, and respect for authority. Percival's tenure at Clifton College and Rugby School left a lasting impact on the students who passed through their halls. His leadership and dedication to education helped shape the lives of countless young men, many of whom went on to distinguished careers in various fields. As Bishop of Hereford, he continued to serve the Church and the community with the same passion and commitment. This photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable man who straddled the worlds of education and religion, leaving a lasting impact on both. The image is a testament to the enduring power of faith and the importance of education in shaping the lives of individuals and communities.
