Hollingworth Tully Kingdon (known as Tully; 1835 – 13 October 1907) was an Anglican bishop, the second Bishop of Fredericton until his death. He was also a noted author.
Born in London, in 1835, the son of William Kingdon (a surgeon) and brother to James Durant Kingdon (1830–1899, a priest and headmaster), he was educated at St Paul's School, London and admitted a pensioner at Trinity College, Cambridge on 30 November 1853 (aged 19) and matriculated at Michaelmas 1854. He gained his Bachelor of Arts (BA) in 1858, proceeded Cambridge Master of Arts (MA Cantab) in 1861 and was eventually awarded a Doctor of Divinity (DD) in 1881, around the time of his episcopal ordination.
Ordained deacon (in the Diocese of Salisbury) in 1859 and priest in 1860, he began his career with curacies in Sturminster Marshall, Dorset (1859–1863), and Devizes, Wiltshire (1863–1864), both in Salisbury diocese. From 1864 to 1869 he was Vice Principal of Salisbury Theological College and then curate (probably incumbent) of St Andrew's, Wells Street, Marylebone. He became Vicar of Good Easter, Essex from 1878 until his appointment to the episcopate.
