Respect for his knowledge of educational matters led Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone to appoint him bishop of Manchester and he was consecrated on March 25, 1870.
Bishop Fraser's opponents said of him that, "Omnipresence was his forte, and omniscience his foible", reflecting his restless activity in preaching the gospel, reform and activity in civil society.
Long known as the bishop of all denominations, his death was honoured by all the nonconformist churches along with the Jewish and Greek Orthodox congregations.
