David Henry Bartleet (11 April 19291 November 2002) was a British Anglican bishop. From 1982 to 1993, he was the fourth Bishop of Tonbridge, a suffragan bishop in the Diocese of Rochester.[1]
He was educated at St Edward's School, Oxford and St Peter's Hall.[2] Ordained in 1957 after a period of study at Westcott House, Cambridge, he began his ordained ministry with a curacy at St Mary-le-Tower, Ipswich.[3] He was made deacon at Michaelmas 1957 at St Edmundsbury Cathedral and ordained priest the following Michaelmas (1958) at All Saints' Church, Ipswich - both times by Arthur Morris, Bishop of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich.
From here he took a second curacy as curate-in-charge of St Edmund's Church in the parish of St George's, Doncaster, 1960–1964. He then served as vicar of Edenbridge (until 1973) and then of Bromley before being appointed to the episcopate; at Bromley he was additionally appointed an honorary canon of Rochester Cathedral from 1979 (which honour he kept alongside his suffragan See). He was appointed to serve as Bishop suffragan of Tonbridge; he served until he retired in 1993. He was consecrated a bishop on 23 October 1982, by Robert Runcie, Archbishop of Canterbury, at Canterbury Cathedral.
He was the son of Edmund Arthur Bartleet and Helen née Holford. In 1956, he married Jean Mary née Rees; together, they had one son and two daughters.
