Gibson, Edmund
Variant namesEdmund Gibson (1669-1748), influential bishop and statesman. After studying at Queen's College, Oxford, he was appointed domestic chaplain to Thomas Tenison (1695-1715), archbishop of Canterbury. He had also begun his publishing career, producing devotional tracts, pastoral pamphlets and scholarly historical and theological works including a new English edition of William Camden's Britannia (1695), and 2 major works on ecclesiastical law, Synodus Anglicana in 1702 and Codex Juris Ecclesiae Anglicanae in 1713. Promoted to the see of Lincoln in 1716, Gibson was translated in 1723 to the bishopric of London, where he remained until his death. An intimate of Walpole until the rejection of the Quakers' Tithe Bill (1736), he was Sir Robert's closest counsellor on matters ecclesiastical and wielded great influence in church circles.
