Timothy William Ellis (born 26 August 1953) is a retired British bishop of the Church of England. From 2006 to 2013, he was Bishop of Grantham, a suffragan bishop in the Diocese of Lincoln;[5] he was also an area bishop from 2010 until 31 January 2013.[6][7]

Early life

Ellis was educated at City Grammar School, Sheffield;[citation needed] trained for the ministry at King's College London and[8] at St Augustine's College, Canterbury; and took his Doctor of Philosophy (DPhil) at York University.[citation needed][when?]

Ordained ministry

Ordained in 1977 he began his career with a curacy in Manchester[9] at St John's Church, Old Trafford and was then successively Vicar at Pendleton; Vicar of St Leonard, Norwood, Sheffield; Rural Dean of Ecclesfield, also Canon of Sheffield Cathedral, and finally (before his ordination to the episcopate) Archdeacon of Stow and Lindsey in the Diocese of Lincoln. A keen Sheffield Wednesday fan[10] and occasional blogger,[11] he is also believed to be the first bishop to sport an earring.[citation needed] Ellis was the celebrant at the first U2charist in England[12][13] and organised a national vigil before the first Gulf War.[when?][citation needed] He is Chair of Sheffield Faiths Together and Chair of the community-led housing organisation, East Midlands Community Led Housing Trust. He continues to serve on the Fabric Advisory Council of Sheffield Cathedral[when?][citation needed] and is a member of the Advisory Panel on the Archaeology of Christian Burials in England's Standing Committee,[14] having been vice-chair of the Council for the Care of Churches.[4] Ellis is now honorary assistant bishop in the Sheffield and Derby dioceses.
