Rev. R. Lewis

            The Postcard

A Rotary Photographic Series postcard that was printed in England. The image is a glossy real photograph, and the card has a divided back, on which is printed:

'Thoughts of You.
By this you'll know I'm giving
A thought to one held dear,
And though distance divides us
Yet to my heart you're near.'

Richard Lewis, Bishop of Llandaff

Richard Lewis, who was born on the 27th. March 1821, was the Anglican Bishop of Llandaff in Wales from 1883 to 1905.

Born in Pembrokeshire, Lewis was educated at Bromsgrove School and Worcester College, Oxford, and ordained in 1846. 

He was Vicar of Amroth from 1847 to 1851, Rector of Lampeter Velfrey for 32 years, and from 1874 to 1883 the Archdeacon of St. David's.

Lewis was a very active Freemason, having been initiated as a student in 1843 in Oxford's Apollo University Lodge. In 1896, whilst serving as Bishop of Llandaff, he became the Grand Chaplain of the United Grand Lodge of England, succeeding the Bishop of Barrow-in-Furness, the Rt. Revd. Henry Ware.

Richard died at the age of 83 on the 24th. January 1905.
