Charles Mules

Charles Oliver Mules (8 September 1837, Ilminster – 9 October 1927, Nelson, New Zealand) was the third Anglican Bishop of Nelson,[1] whose Episcopate spanned a 20-year period during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.[2]

He was educated at Cheltenham College and Trinity College, Cambridge,[3][4] and ordained in 1864. After a curacy at Whorlton, County Durham he emigrated to New Zealand to work under Andrew Suter, Anglican Bishop of Nelson. He was Vicar of Brightwater [5] then Archdeacon [6] of Waimea before succeeding Suter. At some point he became a Doctor of Divinity.

After resigning his see he lived at Trafalgar Square in the city until his death on 9 October 1927.[7] He is buried at St Michael's, Waimea West.[8]
