George Moberly (10 October 1803 – 6 July 1885) was an English divine who served as Bishop of Salisbury from 1869 until his death. He was born in St Petersburg, Russia in 1803, and educated at Winchester College and Balliol College, Oxford. He married Mary Anne Crokat on 22 December 1834 at Oxford. After a distinguished academic career he became head master of Winchester in 1835. This post he resigned in 1866, and retired to the Rectory of St. Mary's Church, Brighstone, Isle of Wight, he was also a Canon of Chester Cathedral.The Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone, however, in 1869 called him to be Bishop of Salisbury, in which see he kept up the traditions of his predecessors, Bishops Hamilton and Denison, his chief addition being the summoning of a diocesan synod. Though Moberly left Oxford at the beginning of the Oxford Movement, he fell under its influence: the more so that at Winchester he formed a most intimate friendship with Keble, spending several weeks every year at Otterbourne, the next parish to Hursley. Moberly, however, retained his independence of thought, and in 1872 he astonished his High Church friends by joining in the movement for the disuse of the damnatory clauses in the Athanasian Creed. His chief contribution to theology is his Bampton Lectures of 1868, on The Administration of the Holy Spirit in the Body of Christ.His daughter Charlotte Anne Moberly became the first principal of St Hugh's College, Oxford, and co-authored under the pen name "Elisabeth Morison" An Adventure (1911), in which she relates her purported encounter with the ghost of Marie-Antoinette in the gardens of the Petit Trianon in 1901. His great-grandson, Dick Milford, was a clergyman and educator who was involved in the founding of Oxfam. He died on 6 July 1885.
