Edward Gilpin Bagshawe (12 January 1829 – 6 February 1915) was a Roman Catholic Bishop of Nottingham.

Life

Bagshawe was born in London, January 12, 1829, the son of H. R. Bagshawe, a County Court Judge. He took his B.A. at University College School in London and in 1838 entered St. Mary's College, Oscott. Upon graduation, he had planned to work in law, but instead joined the London Oratory in 1849 and was ordained a priest in 1852.

In 1874, he became Bishop of Nottingham. In his first Ad Limina report, Bagshawe stated that in his first six months he had visited twenty of forty-eight missions, six of which did not have their own pastor due to a shortage of priests.^[1]

Bagshawe was involved, along with Bishop Vaughn of Salford in the bishops committee that produced the 1886 Manual of Prayers for Congregational Use.^[2] In 1900 he translated and issued The Breviary Hymns and Missal Sequences in English Verse.^[3] The reviewer in The Month gave it a favorable review, while noting that it was a more literal translation than John Henry Newman's more poetic one.^[4]

He resigned in 1901 due to failing health. He published a number of hymn books,^[5] and was a contributor to the Catholic Encyclopedia.^[6] He then served as chaplain to the Sisters of the Little Company of Mary, residing in Hounslow.

He was appointed titular bishop of Hypaepa in 1902, and titular archbishop of Seleucia in 1904. He was styled Bishop Emeritus of Nottingham.
