The obituary in the Church Times stated that: "His diocese was wild and mountainous, and in travelling round it he was reduced, he said, to carrying only a Bible and a toothbrush."[3]
Following the end of the Chinese Civil War and the Communist takeover of China, Bevan returned to England and became the vicarofWoolhope (1951–1966), during which time he was also rural deanofHereford (1955–1966) and Prebendary de Moreton et Whaddon at Hereford Cathedral (1956–1966).[4] On retirement in 1966 he became Master of Archbishop Holgate's HospitalinHemsworth and then an assistant bishop in the Diocese of Wakefield for a further 11 years.[5] During that time, he founded the Retired Clergy Association. [6]
