Eric Graham (1888 – 18 January 1964)[1] was an eminent Anglican priest in the mid 20th century.[2]
He was born into an ecclesiastical family — his father was Malcolm Graham, sometime Archdeacon of Stoke-upon-Trent[3] —, educated at Cheltenham College and Oriel College, Oxford, and ordained after a period of study at Wells Theological College in 1913.[4] He was Vice-Principal of Salisbury Theological College, then Fellow and Dean of Oriel College, Oxford. Next he was Rector of Boyton-cum-Sherrington and after that Principal of Cuddesdon Theological College. In 1944[5] he became Bishop of Brechin,[6] a post he held until 1959.
