Philip Fyson

Philip Kemball Fyson (21 January 1846, Higham, Suffolk - 30 January 1928, Sutton Valence) was an Anglican bishop of the Diocese of Hokkaido, in the Nippon Sei Ko Kai, the province of the Anglican Communion in Japan.

He was educated at King Edward VI School in Bury St Edmunds and Christ's College, Cambridge, graduating B.A.
