John Langley (bishop)

John Douse Langley (17 May 1836 – 8 November 1930) was the second Bishop of Bendigo from 1907 to 1920.[1]

Born in Ballyduff, County Waterford, he was educated at Trinity College, Dublin,[2] and Moore College in New South Wales.[3]

He came to Australia with his family in 1853[4] and after an earlier career with the Bank of Australasia was ordained in 1873. He held incumbencies in Berrima and Sydney before becoming Archdeacon of Cumberland in 1895 and a canon of St Andrew's Cathedral, Sydney, in 1902.[5]

Langley succeeded his younger brother, Henry Archdall Langley (1844–1906), who was the first Bishop of Bendigo.[6] He died on 8 November 1930.[7]
