Mark Allin Hodson (29 December 1907 – 23 January 1985) was an Anglican bishop in the latter half of the 20th century.[1]
Educated at University College London, made deacon on Trinity Sunday (31 May) 1931 and ordained priest the following Trinity Sunday (22 May 1932) - both times by Arthur Winnington-Ingram, Bishop of London, at St Paul's Cathedral. He began his career with a curacy at St Dunstan, Stepney[2] after which he was Missioner at St Nicholas Perivale then Rector of Poplar.
In 1955, he was appointed Bishop suffragan of Taunton[3] and took up his see with his consecration as a bishop on 6 January 1956, by Geoffrey Fisher, Archbishop of Canterbury, at St Paul's Cathedral. In May 1956, he was appointed Rector of Dinder and a Prebendary of Wells Cathedral (remaining Bishop of Taunton). Translated to Hereford in 1961,[4] he retired in 1973 but continued to serve the church as an honorary assistant bishop within the Diocese of London until his death on 23 January 1985,[5] aged 77.
