Maxwell Homfray Maxwell-Gumbleton (born Maxwell Homfray Smith; 17 June 1872 – 1 February 1952) was an Anglican bishop in the first half of the 20th century.
[1] He was educated at Repton School and Peterhouse and ordained in 1896.
[2] After a curacy in Pucklechurch,[3] during which time he married Ella Gillum,[4] he rose rapidly in the Church hierarchy, becoming successively Vicar of Colerne, Rural Dean of Chippenham and Bishop of Ballarat.
In 1916 he changed his surname from Smith to Maxwell-Gumbleton[2] under direction of his great uncle's will (in order to remain eligible to inherit his estate).
