Edward Michael Gresford Jones KCVO (21 October 1901 – 7 March 1982) was a Church of England bishop. He was the son of Herbert Gresford Jones who was also a bishop. Jones was enthroned as the 6th Bishop of St Albans on 28 September 1950 where he remained in office until 1970. Renowned for his administrative skills rather than his oratory he spoke only once in the House of Lords making a passionate plea calling on legislation to ensure better welfare for pit ponies in Britain’s coal mines.
