Are we talking about the baby-eating one or the so-called "real" one? Quote Ever since Blackadder told Baldrick he was being chased for a debt by the ‘baby–eating Bishop of Bath and Wells’, the image has stuck. When the last incumbent, Peter Price, made his first visit to the House of Lords, accompanied by his five-week-old granddaughter, the Bishop of Southwark remarked: ‘I see the bishop has brought his own lunch.’ A previous incumbent, it appears, was appointed on the basis of their skill with guns, rather than theological or ecumenical matters? Quote The Queen’s private secretary, the then Bishop of Norwich, mentioned to HM that Bickersteth enjoyed a bit of shooting, and she in turn told Prince Philip. Bickersteth performed so well on the Saturday that he was asked to come back and shoot geese. ‘So, early on Monday morning, I was roused by the head keeper, and went bumping out in a Land Rover across the fields and put in a very deep ditch, eight feet deep. I had very little room to swing my gun. As it was getting light, these great skeins of geese appeared. It was a lovely sight, and as they were getting lower, I shot two or three times. Then it got lighter and the head keeper came across and said — “Three geese! Very good indeed. Marvellous.” So I went back to Sandringham with three geese under my bag, and as I came into breakfast Prince Philip said, “Rather successful, I hear”.’ The following week, he was appointed Clerk of the Closet. https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/guns-gays-and-the-queen-a-former-bishop-reminisces/ 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
