William Dalrymple Maclagan (18 June 1826 – 19 September 1910) was Archbishop of York from 1891 to 1908, when he resigned his office.He served five years in the Indian Army rising to the rank of lieutenant and resigning on grounds of ill health.He was consecrated a bishop by Archibald Campbell Tait, Archbishop of Canterbury, on the Feast of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist 1878 (24 June) at St Paul's Cathedral.[5] In 1891 (possibly 28 July 1891), he was translated Archbishop of York, which position he held for the next seventeen years.Maclagan complained that from 1891, he had been more Bishop than Archbishop owing to the large population and territory of the diocese.In 1899, he sat assessor with his ecclesiastical superior Frederick Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury (d. 1902), when the decision was given against the use of incense and other ritualistic practices, and was obliged loyally to uphold the primate's opinion.
