George Rodney Eden (9 September 1853 – 7 January 1940) was an Anglican bishop, Bishop of Dover[1] and Wakefield[2]

George Rodney Eden was descended from the 3rd Eden Baronet of West Auckland. He was educated at Reading School and Pembroke College, Cambridge.[3] He began his ecclesiastical career as Chaplain to the Bishop of Durham. After an incumbency at Bishop Auckland – in latter years he was also Rural Dean[4] – he began what his Times obituary described as "nearly forty years of quiet but efficient service to the episcopate".[5]
