St John Basil Wynne Willson (28 August 1868 – 15 October 1946) was an Anglican bishop in the first half of the 20th century.

[1][3] The maternal grandson of Michael Alexander, Bishop of Jerusalem,[2] Willson was educated at Cheltenham and St John's College, Cambridge.

[7] The Bishop of Bristol (George Nickson) and the Dean were strong supporters of Britain's involvement in the Great War and Willson, although 48, volunteered for the Army Chaplaincy.

He was interviewed on 7 February 1917, and he asked to be posted to France or Salonika;[8] but bouts of colon pain and shortsightedness meant that he had to serve in England.

[10] He was consecrated a bishop on All Saints' Day 1921 (1 November) by Randall Davidson, Archbishop of Canterbury, at St Paul's Cathedral.
