Charles Moss (1711-1802) was the bishop of St David's of the Church in Wales and Bath and Wells in the Church of England's Province of Canterbury. In the latter office, he was one of the three bishops to consecrate William White and Samuel Provoost, the second and third American Episcopal bishops, respectively, in 1787.
Moss served as prebendary of Warminster, (1738-1740) and of Hurstbourne and Burbage, Diocese of Salisbury, (1740-1786); as residential canon of Salisbury, 1746-1786; archdeacon of Colchester, St. Paul's Cathedral, London, (1749-1766).[1]
Moss also served as rector of St George Church, Hanover Square, London beginning in 1759 and remained in that post when he was appointed Bishop of St David's in 1766. He was translated to Bath and Wells in 1744, remaining in that post until his death in 1802.[2]
