William Allen Stewart (called Will; 19 September 1943 – 24 March 1998) was a Bishop of Taunton whose brief tenure from June 1997 until March 1998 was one of the shortest in the Anglican Communion. He was also, at 6 feet 7 inches, one of its tallest.
Stewart was educated at Uppingham and Trinity College, Cambridge (where he gained a Cambridge Master of Arts {MA Cantab}).Ordained in 1969 he was a curate at Eccleshall then Cheltenham. Following this he was Vicar of St James, Gloucester then Rector of St Mary Magdalene, Torquay. A sideways move to St Mark, Oulton Broad led to promotion to be Rural Dean of Lothingland and finally, before his appointment to the episcopate, a Canon of Norwich Cathedral.
