G. Edwards, was elected the first archbishop of the disestablished Church in Wales. The son of a priest of the Church of England, Edwards was born in Llanymawddwy in Gwynedd. He studied at Jesus College, Oxford, before being appointed warden of Llandovery College in 1875. In the same year he was ordained as a priest and in 1885 he was appointed the vicar of St Peter's Church, Carmarthen. [1]In 1889, Edwards was appointed the Bishop of St Asaph:[2] he was elected on 2 March at St Asaph Cathedral[3] and consecrated a bishop on Lady Day 1889 (25 March), by Frederick Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury, at Westminster Abbey.[4] He was a strong defender of the rights of the established Church of England in Wales in the face of mounting call for disestablishment from the nonconformist and liberal majority. He was Honorary Chaplain to the Denbighshire Yeomanry from 2 August 1902.[5] When the Church of England in Wales was disestablished and became the Church in Wales in 1920, he was elected the first Archbishop of Wales. He retired in 1934, died in 1937 and was buried at St Asaph.[6] References1. ^Who was Who 1897–2007, 1991, {{ISBN|978-0-19-954087-7}} {{s-start}}{{s-rel|wa}}{{s-bef|before=Joshua Hughes}}{{s-ttl|title=Bishop of St Asaph|years=1889–1934}}{{s-aft|after=William Havard}}{{s-new}}{{s-ttl|title=Archbishop of Wales|years=1920–1934}}{{s-aft|after=Charles Green}}{{s-end}}{{Bishops of St Asaph}}{{Archbishops of Wales}}{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Edwards, Alfred George}}2. ^The Bishop Of St Asaph (News), The Times, 26 April 1889; pg. 7; Issue 32683; col F 3. ^{{Church Times | title = The Bishopric of St Asaph (col. 3–4) | archive = 1889_03_08_222 | issue = 1363 | date = 8 March 1889 | page = 222 | accessed = 26 June 2018 }} 4. ^{{Church Times | title = Consecration of Bishops (col. 3–4) | archive = 1889_03_29_289 | issue = 1366 | date = 29 March 1889 | page = 289 | accessed = 26 June 2018 }} 5. ^{{London Gazette|issue=27460|page=4972|date=1 August 1902}} 6. ^Ecclesiastical News, Archbishop Of Wales's Retirement (Official Appointments and Notices), The Times, 25 July 1934; pg. 15; Issue 46815; col D 8 : Archbishops of Wales|Bishops of St Asaph|Alumni of Jesus College, Oxford|People educated at Llandovery College|1848 births|1937 deaths|20th-century Anglican archbishops|Denbighshire Hussars officers |
