| Archbishop of Canterbury, born in Levkás, Greece. He studied at Balliol College, Oxford, where he became a mathematics lecturer and fellow, was principal of Kneller Hall Training College (1858–69), and headmaster of Rugby (1857–69). He wrote the first of the allegedly heterodox Essays and Reviews (1860) which almost prevented his appointment to the bishopric of Exeter, and supported the disestablishment of the Irish Church. In 1885 he became Bishop of London and in 1897 Archbishop of Canterbury. He was responsible, with Archbishop Maclagen of York, for the ‘Lambeth Opinions’ (1889), which attempted to solve some controversies over ritual. |
