Very Rev Sir Charles Laing Warr[1] KGCVO[2] DD FRSE DL LLD (1892–1969) was a Church of Scotland minister[3][4] and author [5] in the 20th century.[6]

Life

Warr was born on 20 May 1892, the second son of the Reverend Alfred Warr, sometime minister of Rosneath in Dunbartonshire, and his wife, Christian Grey Laing.[7] He was christened on 24 July 1892.

He was educated at Glasgow Academy and then studied Divinity at the University of Edinburgh. He was commissioned into the 9th Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders in 1914 and served during World War I.[8] When peace returned he was an assistant minister at Glasgow Cathedral. Later he was the minister of St Paul’s Greenock and then St Giles' Cathedral. He was Dean of the Thistle[9] and the Dean of the Chapel Royal in Scotland from 1926 to 1969. He was appointed an Extra Chaplain to His Majesty in 1926[10] and Chaplain-in Ordinary in 1934.[11] He was a sub-prelate of the Order of St John of Jerusalem[12] and an Honorary Chaplain to the King[13][14] (and later an Honorary Chaplain to the Queen).[15]

In 1936 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. His proposers were Sir D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson, Arthur Crichton Mitchell, Edward Theodore Salvesen (Lord Salvesen), and Sir Thomas Henry Holland.[16]

He died on 14 June 1969[17] and was cremated at Warriston Crematorium, where a memorial panel exists, but also has a panel on the family memorial in Rosneath Graveyard.[18]
