EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, taken in 1937, we find Bertram Pollock, the Bishop of Norwich, standing proudly in his full episcopal regalia. The image captures the solemnity and dignity of the clergy, as Bishop Pollock gazes off into the distance, his expression thoughtful and introspective. The year 1937 was a significant one for the Bishop of Norwich, as he played a prominent role in the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. This historic event marked the beginning of a new era for the British monarchy, following the abdication of King Edward VIII. Bishop Pollock, born on July 12, 1879, had been ordained as a deacon in 1902 and consecrated as a bishop in 1925. His long and distinguished career in the Church of England culminated in his appointment as Bishop of Norwich, a position he held until his retirement in 1946. The photograph offers a glimpse into the grandeur and ceremony of the episcopate, with Bishop Pollock's rich robes and mitre adorned with intricate embroidery, as well as the ornate backdrop of the cathedral or church where the photograph was taken. The image also serves as a reminder of the important role that the clergy played in the coronation of the monarch and the continuity of the British monarchy. This photograph, taken in 12th July 1937, is a testament to the history and tradition of the Church of England and the episcopate, and offers a glimpse into the solemn and dignified world of the bishops and their role in the coronation of the British monarch.
