John Morgan (archbishop of Wales)
John Morgan (1886 -1957) served as Bishop of Swansea and Brecon (1934 -1939) and subsequently as Bishop of Llandaff (1939-1957), in which post he was also enthroned on 21 September 1949 as Archbishop of Wales (1949 -1957).[1]
Morgan was born in Llandudno[1] and spent some of his early education at The Cathedral School, Llandaff. Before being ordained as bishop he had been Vicar of Llanbeblig and Caernarfon. Firmly attached to the policies of Archbishop Green, he was a meticulous upholder of Anglo-Catholic principles. He witnessed the bombing of Llandaff Cathedral in January 1941 and presided over the earlier stages of its reconstruction.
Morgan was unmarried.
