The Rt Rev Wilmot Lushington Vyvyan (12 August 1861 – 26 August 1937) was an Anglican Bishop in the mid-20th century.
Born into a noble family on 12 August 1861, Wilmot Vyvyan was educated at Charterhouse and Trinity College, Cambridge.
Ordained in 1888,[3] he was curate at the Charterhouse Mission, St Hugh's, Southwark, becoming its priest in charge from 1892 until 1901,[4] when he emigrated to South Africa. Here he was mission priest at Isandhlwana before elevation to the episcopate as the fourth bishop of Zululand in 1903, a post he was to hold for 26 years. He died on 26 August 1937.[5]
