'''Cecil Wilson''' (9 September 1860 – 20 January 1941) was an English county [[cricket]]er and Anglican bishop. He was the third missionary Anglican [[Bishop of Melanesia]] from 1894 to 1911,<ref name="BRL5">{{cite book |last1= Lawrence |first1= David Russell |title= The Naturalist and his "Beautiful Islands": Charles Morris Woodford in the Western Pacific|date= October 2014|publisher=ANU Press |isbn=9781925022032|pages=144–145 |chapter= Chapter 5 Liberalism, Imperialism and colonial expansion |chapter-url= http://press-files.anu.edu.au/downloads/press/p298111/pdf/ch053.pdf }}</ref> and subsequently, the second [[Bishop of Bunbury (Anglican)|Bishop of Bunbury]] from 1918 to 1937.

On 1 February 1899, Wilson married Alice Ethel Julius, the second daughter of [[Churchill Julius|Bishop Julius]], at [[ChristChurch Cathedral]]. The couple had two daughters.<ref name=carlaw/><ref name="Cyclopedia"/><ref>{{cite news |url=https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/TO18990128.2.17 |title=The social sphere |date=28 January 1899 |work=New Zealand Observer and Free Lance |page=8 |accessdate=1 October 2020}}</ref>

==Cricket==
Despite his success as a school cricketer, Wilson did not play for [[Cambridge University Cricket Club]]―his ''[[Wisden]]'' obituary says that he was unable to accept an offered [[Blue (university sport)|Blue]] in 1883 "because of an engagement to travel abroad"<ref name=wis42/>―although he played some cricket for university sides and captained Jesus College in 1882.<ref name=carlaw/> He played club cricket for Beckenham and made his [[first-class cricket]] debut for [[Kent County Cricket Club]] in 1882 whilst still at Cambridge, playing in seven top-level matches during the season and scoring 299 runs. He scored 62 [[not out]] in his second match for the county, a [[County Championship]] fixture against [[Sussex County Cricket Club|Sussex]], made scores of 57 and 50 against the [[Australian cricket team in England in 1882|touring Australians]] during [[Canterbury Cricket Week]], and was awarded his [[county cap]].<ref name=carlaw/><ref name=wis42/><ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article213654061 |title=Bishop Wilson |newspaper=[[Quorn Mercury]] |location=South Australia |date=4 November 1913 |accessdate=18 April 2019 |page=1 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref>

Primarily a batsman, Wilson played for Kent in each of the following five seasons before returning to play his final two matches for the county in 1890. He made 28 appearances for Kent, as well as playing two first-class matches for [[I Zingari]] and three for [[Marylebone Cricket Club|MCC]].<ref name=ca/><ref name=carlaw/> A right-handed batsman, Wilson was considered a "fine batsman" who ''Wisden'' said "drove hard and scored rapidly when set".<ref name=wis42/> He scored a total of 1,193 runs in first-class matches, including one [[century (cricket)|century]],<ref name=ci>[https://www.espncricinfo.com/player/cecil-wilson-23054 Cecil Wilson], [[CricInfo]]. Retrieved 15 October 2022.</ref> a score of 127 made against [[Yorkshire County Cricket Club|Yorkshire]] at [[St Lawrence Ground|Canterbury]] in 1886.<ref name=carlaw/> He took five wickets with his right-arm spin bowling<ref name=carlaw/><ref name=ci/> and was considered a fine fielder who "earned a reputation for fast, accurate returns to the wicket-keeper".<ref name=wis42/>

Wilson's brother, [[Leslie Wilson (cricketer)|Leslie Wilson]], also played first-class cricket for Kent, making 105 top-level appearances for the side between 1883 and 1897.<ref name=wis42/><ref>[https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/33/33957/33957.html Leslie Wilson], CricketArchive. Retrieved 15 October 2022. {{subscription required}}</ref>

==Ecclesiastical career==
Wilson was ordained by [[Harold Browne]], [[Bishop of Winchester]], as a deacon in 1886, and as a priest the following year. He was in charge of St Faith's mission, in the parish of [[Portsea, Portsmouth]], until 1891.<ref>{{cite book | last=[[Richard Malden|Malden Richard (ed)]] | author-link= | title= Crockford's Clerical Directory for 1920 (51st edn) | location= London | publisher= The Field Press| pages=209| year=1920 | isbn=}}</ref> Between 1891 and 1894, he held the [[incumbency]] at [[Moordown|St John's Moordown]], Bournemouth.<ref name="Cyclopedia"/>

In 1894, Wilson was chosen to succeed [[John Selwyn (bishop)|John Selwyn]] as Bishop of Melanesia. He left England for New Zealand in April, and was consecrated at [[St Mary's Cathedral, Auckland]], on 11 June 1894.<ref name="Cyclopedia"/> He launched the fifth [[Southern Cross (Melanesian Mission ships)#Southern Cross No. 5|Southern Cross]] mission ship in 1903,<ref name="BRL5"/> and advocated for the movement of the centre of Anglican life in Melanesia to the [[Solomon Islands]] from [[Norfolk Island]].

Unwilling, however, to himself move to the Solomons, in 1911 he was appointed rector of St Andrew's Church, [[Walkerville, South Australia|Walkerville]] and Archdeacon of [[Adelaide]], South Australia,<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article88681034 |title=Appointment of Dr Wilson |newspaper=[[The Chronicle (Adelaide)]] |volume=LIII |issue=2,745 |location=South Australia |date=1 April 1911 |accessdate=18 April 2019 |page=38 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref> which posts he held until his Bunbury appointment in 1918.

Wilson is listed in the Calendar of Saints of the [[Church of the Province of Melanesia]].

Wilson died at [[Perth, Western Australia]] in 1941 at the age of 80.<ref name=ci/>
