George Evans Moule

George Evans Moule (January 28, 1828-March 3, 1912) was an Anglican missionary in China and the first Anglican bishop of mid-China.

He was the second of eight sons of Henry Moule, an inventor and the vicar of Fordington, Dorset. He graduated from Corpus Christi College, Cambridge in 1850. He was made a Doctor of Divinity in 1880 and in 1905 was made an honorary Fellow of the college. In 1857 he was accepted by the Church Missionary Society and arrived in Ningpo in 1858. In 1861 he was joined there by his brother Arthur Evans Moule. They survived the Taiping Rebellion, and in 1864 he began missionary work in Hangchow, remaining there until 1874. In 1880 he was made Bishop of Mid-China, with the seat of the diocese at Hangchow. He resigned as bishop in 1907, and returned to England in 1911, to die the next year.
