Howell Witt

Howell Arthur John Witt (12 July 1920 – 8 July 1998) was an Australian bishop for over 25 years who served two very different dioceses in the mid 20th century.
Witt was educated at Leeds University and the College of the Resurrection, Mirfield. Ordained in 1945 after curacies at Usk and Camberwell he emigrated to Australia where he became chaplain at the Woomera Rocket Station, South Australia, rector of St Mary Magdalene's Adelaide and then Elizabeth. A hugely colourful character, he was ordained to the episcopate in 1965 and was often featured in the media. He was a keen rugby fan.
