John William Diggle (2 March 1847 – 24 March 1920) was an English Anglican bishop.
He was the son of William Diggle, a warehouseman of Pendleton, Lancashire and his wife Nancy Ann née Chadderton. His younger brother, Joseph Diggle (1849–1917) was to become chairman of the London School Board.[1]
Diggle was educated at Manchester Grammar School.[2] and Merton College, Oxford.[3] He began his career with curacies at St Margaret, Whalley Range,[4] All Saints’, Liverpool and St John’s, Walton. From 1875 until 1897 he was Vicar of Mossley Hill.[5] He was in 1896 collated Archdeacon of Westmorland, serving until November 1901, and then in 1903 Archdeacon of Birmingham.[6] In 1905 he became Bishop of Carlisle,[7] a post he held[8] until his death on 24 March 1920.[9]
His son, Percy Robert Diggle, was a rugby union international, representing the Combined British on the 1910 RFU tour to Argentina, an early incarnation of the British and Irish Lions.
