* Christianity portal

John Lawrence White (1885–1958) was an Anglican priest in the 20th century.[1] He was born in 1885 and ordained in 1910.[2] He held curacies in Birmingham, Brixton and Luton after which he served as a chaplain to the British Armed Forces during World War I. He was appointed in February 1917, and served in King George Hospital, London and, from December 1917, in Egypt,[3] surviving the torpedoing of the troopship he was travelling on.[4] His work was regarded as "satisfactory". He was demobilised in March 1920.[5] Later he was Vicar of St. George's Church, Edgbaston and then of St Nicolas Church, Nuneaton. In 1940 he became Provost of St Edmundsbury, a post he held until his death on 24 May 1958. There is a commemorative plaque in the Cathedral cloisters.
