        History

        Sixth Bishop of Quebec.

        Lennox Waldron Williams was born in Lennoxville, Quebec in 1859, and educated there and in England. He obtained a B.A. from Oxford University in 1884, and was ordained deacon in 1885. He served as curate of St. Matthew's Church, Quebec from 1885 to 1887, and was ordained priest in 1886. He received an M.A. from Oxford in 1887. He also became rector of St. Matthew's Church that year, and remained until 1899, when he became rector of the Cathedral Church of the Holy Trinity, as well as Dean of Quebec. Though he was elected Coadjutor Bishop of Ontario in 1900, he declined the election, and in 1915, was elected as Bishop of Quebec. He received an honourary D.D. from Oxford in 1920. He resigned from the See of Quebec in 1935, and passed away in 1958.
