The Rt Rev Mark Rodolph Carpenter-Garnier (1 January 1881 11 October 1969) was an Anglican Bishop in the first half of the 20th century.[1]

Born in Wickham, Hampshire[2] on New Year's Day, he was the third son of John Carpenter Garnier and Hon. Mary Louisa Trefusis, daughter of Charles Trefusis, 19th Baron Clinton.[3] His eldest brother, John Trefusis Carpentier-Garnier, was killed in action in the First World War. He was educated at Winchester[4] and Oriel College, Oxford[5] and ordained in 1905.[6] His career began with curacies at St Thomas, Portman Square and All Saints, Margaret Street. Following this he was Librarian of Pusey House, Oxford.[7] From 1924 to 1938 he was Bishop of Colombo.[8] He then returned to England to be Principal of St Boniface Missionary College, Warminster and then Chaplain of Salisbury Diocesan Training College.[1]

In 1940, he married Eveline Egerton-Warburton, daughter of Piers Egerton-Warburton and granddaughter of Rowland Egerton-Warburton.[9]
