George Frederick Appleton, CMG, MBE (20 February 1902 – 28 August 1993) was an Anglican bishop in the third quarter of the twentieth century and a writer.

[2][3][4] After the curacy, Appleton spent the next 20 years in Burma as a SPG missionary, ending this part of his ministry as Archdeacon of Rangoon[5] before returning to England.

Before the Europeans left Burma in the face of the invading Japanese, Appleton put into place plans for Holy Communion once stores of wafers and wine had run out: local congregations would use boiled rice and tea or water or coconut milk as the elements.

[8] In 1962, he became Archdeacon of London and a canon of St Paul's Cathedral and a year later Anglican Archbishop of Perth, Australia.

[12] Appleton was married to Marjorie (Madge) in Holy Trinity Cathedral, Yangon (then Rangoon) in 1929.
