Robert Crowther Abbott (1869–1927) was the inaugural Bishop of Sherborne.[1]
Robert Crowther Abbott was born into a clerical family: his father was the Rev. A. R. Abbott, sometime Vicar of Gorleston.[2] He was educated at Marlborough College and Trinity College, Cambridge.[3][4] After 15 years as an assistant master (and latterly Chaplain[5]) at his old school he was appointed Principal of Salisbury Theological College in 1907. After incumbencies at Great St Mary's with St Michael's, Cambridge,[6] Holy Trinity, Weymouth, Dorset[7] and St Mary the Virgin, Gillingham, Dorset[8] he was elevated to the Episcopate in 1925, but unfortunately ill health forced his resignation only two years later.[9]
