In 1917, John was appointed Vicar of Monkwearmouth and remained there until 1924 when he became Bishop of Accra. Aglionby was a strong supporter of establishing a library service in Ghana. He volunteered his own book collection in 1928 and later his own money to establish the first location it the 1930s but it was lost to the government. He later assisted in 1945 when the Aglionby Library was opened in Accra in November 1946 . He retired to Orpington in 1951; he had become a Doctor of Divinity (DD). (en)
