The Anglican Diocese of Derby has had seven bishops, and all of them
have combined a moderate theology with profound humanity and care for
people. Some of them were distinguished academics. Jonathan Bailey
will be remembered as someone who really cared for people, listened to
them, and was at ease in any social context.

Jonathan Sansbury Bailey was born in 1940 in Liverpool where he was
raised and was educated at Quarry Bank High School. He spent five
years in Cambridge, first at Trinity College and then doing his
ordination training at Ridley Hall.
