Alfred Earle[1] (22 December 1827Template:Snd28 December 1918) was the Bishop of Marlborough from 1888 to his death.[2][3]

He was born the son of surgeon Henry Earle and was educated at Eton College and Hertford College, Oxford. He was ordained in 1858 and was a Curate of St Edmund's Salisbury and then Rector of Monkton Farleigh[4] (1863–1865)[5] before becoming vicar of West Alvington, South Huish, and South Milton.[5] He then spent fifteen years in Totnes, as, from approximately October 1872[6] until his consecration in 1888, the Archdeacon of Totnes, and where he also became a rural dean and a Canon Residentiary of Exeter Cathedral (1886–1888).[5]

He was consecrated a bishop by Edward Benson, Archbishop of Canterbury, at St Paul's Cathedral on St Matthias' day (24 February) 1888.[7][8] As Bishop of Marlborough, he was suffragan to Frederick Temple and Mandell Creighton as successive Bishops of London, and was given charge of the western part of the Diocese of London.[9] Alongside his bishopric, he also held two successive livings: Rector of St Michael, Cornhill (1888–1895), and Rector of St Botolph-without-Bishopsgate and a Prebendary of St Paul's (1896–1900).[5] Earle was often in ill-health during this period, and Alfred Barry (former Primate of Australia) frequently deputised for him; when Earle resigned his responsibilities for West London in June 1900, Barry took these up (but not the See).[10]

Installed as Dean of Exeter on 28 August 1900, Earle left London but nominally retained his see[11] until his death. He resigned the deanery during 1918,[12] and died at the end of the year,[13] at Torquay, Devon,[14] in the week following his 91st birthday.[15]
