Norman Henry Tubbs (5 July 1879 – 2 September 1965)[1] was an Anglican bishop in the 20th century.[2]
Tubbs was educated at Highgate School and Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge.[3][4] He was ordained in 1903 and was a curate at Whitechapel Parish Church[5] before going to India as a Church Mission Society missionary, eventually becoming principal of Bishop’s College, Calcutta.[6] In 1923 he was ordained to the episcopate as the 4th Bishop of Tinnevelly.[7] He was translated to Rangoon in 1928 and returned to England six years later to be the Archdeacon of Chester and later Dean of Chester.[8][9]
Norman Tubbs was the father of Christopher Norman Tubbs (1926–2010), Vicar of Scalby, North Yorkshire from 1959 to 1995, Rural Dean of Scarborough from 1976 to 1982 and a Canon of York Minster. Christopher was ordained by his father in Chester Cathedral in 1952.[10]
