Clarendon Lamb Worrell (July 20, 1853 – 10 August 1934) was the 5th Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada.
Clarendon Lamb Worrell was born on July 20, 1853 at Smith's Falls, Ontario to the Reverend Canon John Worrell and Elizabeth Lamb. His early education was received from local Smith's Falls schools until the age of 17, when he entered the newly relocated Trinity College School at Port Hope. In the six months he was there, Worrell became a very accomplished student, achieving the distinction of head boy. In June 1873 he graduated from the University of Trinity College with honours, bringing with him a host of awards and scholarships he had achieved at Trinity College, especially in the field of mathematics. That September, Worrell joined Bishop's College School as the mathematics master, leaving there in 1875 to take up a position at Hellmuth College, London, under headmaster Arthur Sweatman, who, along with Worrell, would also become Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada. The next year, Worrell left Hellmuth to join a school in Hamilton, Ontario. After the position in Hamilton, Worrell taught at Cobourg, Ontario, before returning to Trinity College to enter the Divinity School in 1878.
In 1881, Worrell was ordained deacon by the Bishop of Ontario and was appointed curate of Christ Church, Gananoque, serving there until 1882 when he became curate of a church in Brockville. During his time at Brockville, he also served as the headmaster of the Brockville Collegiate Institute from 1882 to 1884. In 1884, he was ordained priest by the Bishop of Ontario and appointed rector of Williamsburg. Two years later, he left that position to become rector of a church in Morrisburg. In 1891, he became rector of a church in Kingston, Ontario, whilst also serving as professor of English literature at the Royal Military College of Canada from 1891 to 1904. In 1901, he was appointed the Archdeacon of Ontario. Two years later, he became rector of St. Mark's Barriefield in Kingston, from 1891 to 1903, before being elected as Bishop of Nova Scotia in October 1904.
