William Proctor Swaby FRGS (1844 – 16 November 1916) [1] was a colonial Anglican bishop from 1893 [2] until 1916.
Born in Tetney, [3] Swaby was educated at Durham University, where he won the Barry Scholarship. [4] He eventually gained a doctorate in Divinity [5] He held incumbencies at Castletown, Sunderland [6] and at Milfield before being ordained to the episcopate in 1893 [7] as Bishop of Guyana. [8] He was consecrated a bishop on 24 March 1893, by Edward White Benson, Archbishop of Canterbury, at Westminster Abbey. [9]
In Guyana he encouraged the development of a Third Order of Saint Francis within the Anglican church based on the work by Emily Marshall. She was his sister-in-law and she had been an assistant from when he was in Sunderland. [10] Swaby's archdeacon Fortunato Pietro Luigi Josa published St. Francis of Assisi and the Third Order in the Anglo-Catholic Church in 1898 in England quoting text from the order's founder but without naming her. The idea grew [10] and when Swaby was Translated to Barbados and the Windward Islands in December 1899 [11]/1900 then the new order quickly took hold. [10]
Swaby held the two separate Sees of Barbados and of the Windward Islands together. [12] He died in post in 1916.
