John Frank Ewan Bone (28 August 1930 – 5 July 2014) was the area Bishop of Reading from 1989 until 1996.[1][2]
He was educated at Monkton Combe School and St Peter's College, Oxford before embarking on an ecclesiastical career with a curacy at St Gabriel's, Warwick Square.[3] After incumbencies at Datchet and Slough he was appointed Rural Dean of Burnham[4] and then (his final appointment before ordination to the episcopacy) Archdeacon of Buckingham.[5]
He died in 2014:[6] his Church Times obituary stated that he was
"a great example of the quiet, reliable bishop who was trusted by many, worked hard, and never sought the limelight.[7] "
