- John Edward Bazille-Corbin (né Corbin, October 9, 1887- April 30, 1964) was an English attorney, Anglo-Catholic priest, liturgist, antiquarian, and author active in monarchist activities. Corbin was born in Saint Peter Port, Guernsey, the Channel Islands. He was consecrated as an episcopus vagans. He was ordained to the priesthood in the Church of England in 1921 and served as rector of Runwell St. Mary, where he developed a devotion to a holy well as a pilgrimage site, from 1923 to 1961. In 1943 he became the founder and first warden of the Monarchist League. He was a proponent of the Sarum Use in liturgical practice. In April 1948, Bazille-Corbin was consecrated to the episcopate by independent bishop Hugh George de Willmott Newman of the Catholicate of the West. Bazille-Corbin assumed the title of "Mar Marcus Valerius, Titular Bishop of Selsey in the Eparchy of All the Britons" and was also chancellor in the Catholicate of the West. He was also identified as a "Rector-Provincial for Canterbury" in the revived Order of Corporate Reunion. According to the Church Times (London), "Bazille Corbin collected titles as a hobby .. but as Mar Marcus Valerius he never claimed territorial jurisdiction beyond the boundaries of his parish, and, so far as is known, never made use of his episcopal powers for ordinations. He was an eccentric but much-loved Anglican clergyman." He died at Writtle, Essex. His will was admitted to probate at Ipswich on March 4, 1965. (en)
