and truth stand where they stood in August, 1914, and we must stand by them still, however hard or horrible the conditions". Hodgson was regarded as a decidedly local bishop and not a national figure. The diocesan magazines are filled with reports from parishes supporting the War effort. For example, it was reported in December, 1914, that £6 had been raised in a house-to-house collection in Cockfield for soldiers blankets, that Barrow had 100 men on active service, and that a YMCA tent had been erected on the green at Beyton. He died suddenly on 28 February 1921. There is a memorial to him at St Edmundsbury Cathedral. Family Hodgson married in 1882 Penelope Warren, daughter of Admiral Richard Laird Warren; they had three sons and a daughter. The war poet William Noel Hodgson was their youngest child.
