Early life and education

Wylde was educated in England at Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, Wakefield, and University College, Oxford.[3] He then spent three years at Oxford House.[4]

Ordained ministry

Wylde trained for ordination at Cuddesdon, and was ordained deacon in 1906 and priest in 1907.[4] His first post was as curate at St Simon Zelotes, Bethnal Green[5] after which he was vicar of the parish until 1921. Emigrating to Australia, he was a member of the Brotherhood of the Good Shepherd, a period he considered the happiest of his ministry.[4] From 1923 until 1928 he was principal of the order.

Appointed a coadjutor bishop of Bathurst in 1927[6] he was enthroned as diocesan bishop a decade later on 23 February 1937.[4] In 1942 a parish within his diocese led by the Rev T. C. Hammond[7] brought an action against him for introducing The Red Book[8] a perceived heretical text into the diocese's liturgy. He was appointed a CBE in 1957, the year before his death.
