Headline: Obituary of Canon George Youell
Publication Date: February 06, 1995

Obituary: CANON GEORGE YOUELL, who has died 84, exercised notable ministeries in the Potteries, where he was Archdeacon of Stoke-on-Trent, then in Ely, where he was a Canon Residentiary of the Cathedral and held the offices of Vice-Dean and Treasurer.
Youell belonged to a now almost extinct breed of clerics who were disinclined to question their church's traditions and instead devoted themselves, in his case with enormous energy, to pastoral work and preaching among people who still valued "a human parson".
As an archdeacon he translated his gifts into the care and leadership of the clergy. Endowed with a dry wit, bushy eyebrows and a figure suited to a dignitary's gaiters, he was every inch a senior churchman, but entirely devoid of pomp or pride.
In 1961 he combined his archdeaconal duties with those of the chaplaincy of Keele University. The university was in the early stages of its development and Youell laid the foundations for full-time work among students and introduced well-ordered worship into the fine new chapel. He also took the opportunity to take a degree and, aged 59, was awarded an MA.
George Youell was born in Suffolk on Dec 23 1910. After attending St Michael's School, Beccles, he felt drawn to the Free Church ministry and went to the Hartley Victoria Methodist Theological College at Manchester. But towards the end of his training he became an Anglican and, after a year at St Stephen's House, Oxford, was ordained in 1933 to a curacy in Chester.
Four years of intense pastoral activity made Youell aware of the need for the Church to take an active role in tackling social problems. This led to his appointment as North-West Area Director of the Industrial Christian Fellowship, then a flourishing organization much influenced by the ideas of Archbishop William Temple, which held services in factory canteens.
When the Second World War broke out Youell immediately enlisted as a chaplain and was posted to the 2nd Battalion of the Grenadier Guards.
He went to France with the BEF and, after Dunkirk, he joined the Guards Armoured Brigade. Promotion to Senior Chaplain led to a posting to Nigeria where he developed a great affection for Africa and its people; he was pleased to return to Nigeria and the Gold Coast after a spell at Woolwich in 1944.
In 1949 he wrote about his experiences in the book Africa Marches, and retained the connection by serving as a Commissary in England for the Bishop of Lagos.
Demobilisation in 1946 was followed by his appointment as Rector of the small Shropshire parish of Ightfield with Calverhall. Eager for more responsibility, Youell was appointed Vicar and Rural Dean of Leek in Staffordshire in 1952.
This post provided greater scope for his gifts and in 1956 he became Archdeacon of Stoke-on-Trent, retaining his position as Vicar of Leek for another four years until he began work at Keele. When he gave way to a full-time university chaplain he returned to parochial work at Horton, near Leek. And from 1967 to 1970 he was an Honorary Canon of Lichfield Cathedral.
In 1970 Youell was appointed Canon Residentiary of Ely, the cathedral he was to serve for the next 13 years. By then English cathedrals were beginning to welcome visitors more warmly, for worship and other activities.
Ely had somewhat lagged behind in this development and, although Youell met some opposition in the Chapter, his obvious enjoyment of people soon began to make an impact among both visitors and members of the cathedral community. His thoughtful, well-researched sermons were highly valued.
After retiring in 1983 he continued to live at Ely but traveled extensively to preach and address meetings.
Youell's first wife, with whom he had two sons and three daughters, died in 1982. He married secondly, in 1983, Mary Phillipson.
