Maxwell Homfray Maxwell-Gumbleton (born Maxwell Homfray Smith; 17 June 1872 – 1 February 1952) was an Anglican bishop in the first half of the 20th century.
Maxwell-Gumbleton was born into a legal family. His father was a Puisne Judge in Jamaica.[1] He was educated at Repton School and Peterhouse and ordained in 1896.[2] After a curacy in Pucklechurch,[3] during which time he married Ella Gillum,[4] he rose rapidly in the Church hierarchy, becoming successively Vicar of Colerne, Rural Dean of Chippenham and Bishop of Ballarat. In 1916 he changed his surname from Smith to Maxwell-Gumbleton[2] under direction of his great uncle's will (in order to remain eligible to inherit his estate).[5] After 10 years as Bishop of Ballarat, he returned to England, where he was appointed as an assistant bishop of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich from 1931[4] – a position which was later expanded to become the bishop suffragan of Dunwich in 1934.[6] He was additionally Archdeacon of Sudbury from 1932 to 1945.
