The Rt Rev Samuel Morley was Bishop of Tinnevelly at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.[1]

He was born in 1841 and educated at Pembroke College, Cambridge.[2][3] After curacies at Ilkeston and Sandgate,[4] he emigrated to India as a CMS missionary, eventually becoming Domestic Chaplain to the Bishop of Madras before his elevation to the episcopate in 1896.[5] He retired in 1903 and died twenty years later on 6 November 1923.[6]
