Arthur Mesac Knight (9 July 1864 – 4 October 1939)[1] was the third Bishop of Rangoon from 1903 to 1909.[2][3]
He was educated at Rossall and Pembroke College, Cambridge.[4] Ordained in 1890,[5] he was initially a Curate at St Andrew's, Bishop Auckland[6] before becoming Fellow and Dean of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge[7] and a Lecturer in Divinity at the university.
He was appointed to the episcopate in December 1902, based on the recommendation of the Secretary of State for India.[8] He subsequently received the doctorate of divinity (DD) (honoris causa) from the University of Cambridge in January 1903.[9] Taking up the position in Rangoon early in 1903,[10] he only served for six years, afterwards becoming Warden of St Augustine's Missionary College, Canterbury.[11] From 1928, his last posts were as Rector of Lyminge (until 1935) and Assistant Bishop of Canterbury (until his death).[12][13]
