Rt Rev Harold Nickinson Rodgers (6 July 1881[1] – 22 June 1947) was the third Anglican Bishop of Sherborne in the modern era.[2]
Educated at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, he was ordained in 1910 and his ministry began with a curacy at St Jude's, Southsea; after which he was Vicar of Havant (and latterly Rural Dean).[3] Subsequently, he served as Archdeacon of Portsmouth in 1927, Archdeacon of Dorset (1940–47) and Bishop of Sherborne (1936–47). He died in Salisbury in 1947.[4] His Times obituary described him as "an able administrator".[5]
