Maxwell Homfray Maxwell-Gumbleton , born Maxwell Homfray Smith (17 June 1872–1 February 1952), was an Anglican bishop in the first half of the 20th century.
Maxwell-Gumbleton was born into a legal family. His father was a Puisne Judge in Jamaica.[1] He was educated at Repton School and Peterhouse and ordained in 1896.[2] After a curacy in Pucklechurch, during which time he married Ella Gillum,[3] he rose rapidly in the Church hierarchy, becoming successively Vicar of Colerne, Rural Dean of Chippenham and Bishop of Ballarat. In 1916 he changed his surname from Smith to Maxwell-Gumbleton.[2] After 10 years as Bishop of Ballarat he returned to England where he was appointed as an assistant to the Bishop of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich – a position which was later expanded to become the Suffragan Bishop of Dunwich.[4]
