John Gott (bishop)

[11] In 1873, Gott erected a stone cross in Bramley to celebrate 8 years living and working in Leeds (see photograph).

A strong believer in nurturing the spirituality of all women, Gott preached a sermon in 1892 for the anniversary of the Girls' Friendly Society.

[14] A high churchman, but not a strong partisan, he signed in January 1901 the bishops' letter inviting clergy to accept the positions defined in the Lambeth 'Opinions.

'[15] He died suddenly at his residence, Trenython, near Par, on 21 July 1906 and was buried at Tywardreath.

[15] Gott married in 1868 Harriot Mary Maitland of Loughton Hall, Essex; she died in London on 19 April 1906; they had one son and three daughters.
