Derrick Childs

Derrick Greenslade Childs (14 January 1918 – 18 March 1987 ) was the Anglican Bishop of Monmouth and Archbishop of Wales.

Childs grew up in Laugharne. He was educated at Whitland Grammar School, before reading history at University College, Cardiff. He was a curate in Milford Haven and then Laugharne. In 1947 he became editor of Cymry'r Groes, a magazine to serve the official youth organization of the Church of Wales. At that time church colleges were fighting for their survival; Childs had an important role in ensuring that Trinity College both survived and embarked on a period of imaginative development. Childs was a sub-prelate of the Order of St John of Jerusalem.

Childs retired in 1986. He died shortly afterwards as the result of a motor accident.
