John Vernon Kestell Cornish (13 October 1931 – 26 January 1982)[2] was consecrated 19 May 1979 at St George's Cathedral, Perth, to serve as Assistant Bishop of Perth. He was elected Bishop of Tasmania (to succeed Davies) in 1981, but died suddenly, after moving to Hobart but before his scheduled enthronement;[3][4] Newell was elected in his stead the same year.[5]
