Creighton, Mandell (1843–1901), historian and bishop. He was a professor at Cambridge (1884–91), Bp. of Peterborough (1891–7), and then of London. His History of the Papacy (1882–94) is a clear, dispassionate, and erudite work. His episcopate was marked by statesmanship and tact, especially in dealing with the conflicts between Ritualists and Kensitites.
