Granville Gibson (priest)

George Granville Gibson (born 28 May 1936) is a retired British Anglican priest and convicted sex offender.

[2] Gibson was educated at Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, Wakefield and Barnsley College.

[2] Gibson was arrested in April 2014 in relation to historic sexual offences.

[6][7] He had assaulted two men, who were 18 and 26 at the time of the offences, in the 1970s and 1980s when he was vicar at St Claire's Church, Newton Aycliffe.

[11] A 2017 independent report on the Diocese of Durham's handling of cases involving Gibson, which found that complaints about his behaviour had been dismissed as "drunkenness", and that he had been arrogant about his senior position in the Church, was published in December 2020.
