Powell was born in Fallowfield, Lancashire, into a clerical family, the son of Rev. Astell Drayner Powell, sometime Canon of Manchester Cathedral, and Annie Edwards, daughter of Thomas Grandage Edwards.[1] He was educated at Rugby and University College, Oxford and ordained in 1906.[2] After curacies in Fallowfield and Blackburn he rose rapidly in the Church of England hierarchy becoming successively vicar of St Matthew's West Kensington,[3] Rural Dean of Leicester and Archdeacon of Carlisle. After four years in Cumberland he was ordained to the episcopate as the Suffragan Bishop of Penrith.[4]
He married Madeline Mary Allen, by whom he had two sons. He resigned after a serious illness in April 1944[5] and died four years later.[2]
