Biography

He was born on 9 July 1878 and educated at Liverpool University and Westminster College, Cambridge.[2] After ten years as a Presbyterian minister his first Anglican ministry position was as a minor canon at St Albans Cathedral from where he moved to be vicar of Christ Church, Luton. He was made deacon on Trinity Sunday 1916 (18 June)[3] and ordained priest the following Trinity Sunday (3 June 1917) — both times by Edgar Jacob, Bishop of St Albans, at the cathedral.[4] Following time as Rector of Little Gaddesden, he was appointed the Bishop of Bedford in 1935. He was consecrated a bishop by Cosmo Lang, Archbishop of Canterbury, at St Paul's Cathedral on Whit Tuesday 1935 (11 June).[5]

Barkway wrote a popular apologetic presentation of the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed, The Creed and its Credentials.

Three years later he was translated to be the Bishop of St Andrews, Dunkeld and Dunblane[6] where he stayed for eleven years.

He retired to Kingscote, Gloucestershire,[7] where he undertook some bishop's duties;[8] he died at home[2] in Coulsdon, Greater London, on 12 December 1968, aged 90.[9]
