-Bishop's Wife
MRS. FISHER, wife of the new Bishop of London, Dr. Geoffrey Fisher, and mother of six sons, intends to visit the Bishop's Palace at Fulham shortly.
The new Bishop, succeeding Dr. Winnington Ingram, will take up residence in September, but Mrs. Fisher has many preparations to make before she leaves her 12- roomed home in Chester for the 100-roomed Palace in Fulham.
"I intend to visit the Palace and study it before I make any plans: The 100 rooms will be something of a problem," she said.
