The Rev Robert Henry Whitcombe (18 July 1862–19 March 1922) was an eminent Anglican Bishop.[1] Educated at Winchester and New College, Oxford, from 1886 to 1899 he was a schoolmaster at Wellington College and then Eton. After this he was Rector of Hardwick, Buckinghamshire[2] and then Vicar of Romford[3] before a 13-year spell as Bishop of Colchester from 1909.[4] A memorial window and plaque to him is situated on the south wall of St Mary-at-the-Walls, Colchester.[5]
