About the author
Charles Herbert, born in 1864, is identified in Project Gutenberg’s author records as the writer of Twenty-five Years as Bishop of London, published in London in 1926 by Wells Gardner, Darton & Co. The book was written as an independent tribute to Arthur Foley Winnington Ingram, who served as Bishop of London for twenty-five years.
Herbert’s account places Winnington Ingram’s life within the wider history of the Church of England and London, covering his upbringing, education, ministry, wartime work, and personal character. Beyond this volume, reliable biographical details about Herbert’s life and career remain limited.
