About Lucian Usher-Wilson

Lived 1903 – 1984 (aged 81). Lucian Usher-Wilson was a presbyter.

Lucian Charles Usher-Wilson CBE (10 January 190328 August 1984) was a British Anglican bishop who served in Uganda during the mid-20th century and afterwards in England.

Usher-Wilson was educated at Lincoln College, Oxford. He was ordained deacon in 1927 and priest in 1929. He was a teacher at King's College, Budo from 1927 to 1933; and a CMS missionary until his appointment to succeed Arthur Kitching as diocesan Bishop on the Upper Nile in 1936. He was consecrated as a bishop on 28 October 1936, at St Paul's Cathedral by Cosmo Lang, Archbishop of Canterbury.

Under his initiative, the Diocese on the Upper Nile was split in 1961 and Usher-Wilson remained as diocesan bishop of one part, afterwards called the Diocese of Mbale (so he became the first Bishop of Mbale); he resigned that See in 1964 and became Vicar of Churt and an Assistant Bishop of Guildford. He was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE).
