Bronze effigy of Bevan by Goscombe JohninBrecon Cathedral
Born in Weymouth on 27 October 1861[2] Bevan was the son of William Latham Bevan and Louisa Dew,[5] and nephew of George Phillips Bevan. He was educated at Hertford College, Oxford[6] (whence he gained the degree MA (Oxon)) and ordained in 1886.[7]
Bevan began his career with a curacy[8] at Holy Trinity, Weymouth[9] after which he was Chaplain[10] of the Gordon’ Home for Boys[11] until 1907 when he succeeded his father as Archdeacon of Brecon.[12] He was appointed an acting Chaplain to the 1st (Brecknockshire) Volunteer Battalion, South Wales Borderers (of which his father had been an Honorary Chaplain since 1860) and in 1907 he succeeded his father as Hon Chaplain to the battalion, retaining the role until World War I.[13]
He was first appointed to the episcopate as the Bishop of Swansea, a suffragan bishop in the Diocese of St Davids,[14] ordained and consecrated a bishop on 29 September 1915, by Randall Davidson, Archbishop of Canterbury, at Canterbury Cathedral;[15] before becoming the first Bishop of Swansea and Brecon upon the erection of that diocese eight years later.[16] At some point he gained a Doctorate of Divinity (DD).
