LifeKnapp-Fisher was born in Chatham, Kent, England. His father was also an Anglican priest. He was educated at The King's School, Worcester, and at Trinity College, Oxford, where he took a First in Jurisprudence in 1936 (MA 1940). In 1938 he entered Wells Theological College and he was ordained deacon in 1939 and priest in 1940. He was assistant curate of Brighouse (1940–42) before entering the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve as a chaplain and serving in the Far East. In 1946 he was appointed chaplain of Cuddesdon College and he was briefly a member of the Oratory of the Good Shepherd. He spent the period 1949-52 as chaplain of St John's College, Cambridge (Cambridge MA 1949) and then he returned to Cuddesdon as principal from 1952 until 1960.{{harv|Johnson|2013|p=174}} He was noted for his imposition of a strictly disciplined lifestyle on his students. He particularly emphasised the 'custody of time'{{harv|Tustin|2013|p=87}} Later on Knapp-Fisher found that the 'custody of time' needed to be interpreted differently in South Africa. As well as being the principal of the theological college at Cuddesdon he was also vicar of the Church of All Saints, Cuddesdon and he served as rural dean 1958-60. In 1960 he went to South Africa, where he had been elected Bishop of Pretoria (he had been offered the post several times before eventually taking it up). He was instrumental in the founding of St Alban's College in 1963. In 1967 he was appointed to the Anglican-Roman Catholic Joint Preparatory Commission, and in 1969 to the International Commission (ARCIC) itself, on which he served until 1981. Like other bishops of that time in South Africa, Knapp-Fisher was critical of Apartheid.{{harv|Van den Berghe|1967|p=193}}{{harv|Hastings|1979|p=208}} He came back to England in 1975 when he was appointed Canon Residentiary of Westminster Abbey and Archdeacon of Westminster, serving as sub-dean of the Abbey from 1982 until his retirement in 1987.{{harv|Mayne|2011|p=123}} His sub-deanship coincided with a long interregnum in the deanery itself and he was therefore responsible for organising the wedding of HRH The Duke of York and Sarah Ferguson on 23 July 1986. He was also an assistant bishop in the Diocese of Southwark (1975–87) and Diocese of London (1976–86). He retired to Chichester where he was an assistant bishop in the Diocese of Chichester and Custos{{clarify|date=September 2014}} of St Mary's Hospital. He was a member of The Ecumenical Society of the Blessed Virgin Mary.{{harv|McLoughlin|Pinnock|2007|p=xvi}} He died in February 2003 at the age of 88. He was survived by his wife Joan Bradley whom he met in South Africa. Published works
