Excerpt from Pamphlets IV, 1865-1892 The late Bishop of Ely was born at henley-on-thames, April 30, 1820. His father was a hop-merchant in the Borough, of an Isle of Wight family. He was unsuccessful in business, and died at a comparatively early age, leaving a widow and an only son. The future Bishop received his early education at home. In his tenth year he went to Merchant Taylors' School, then under the efficient headship of the Rev. J. W. Bellamy (father of the present President of St. John's), a sound scholar, a high-toned Christian, and an excellent disciplinarian. Here he remained till 1838, when, being superannuated, he was elected to a Parkin Exhibition at Pembroke College, Cambridge, where he commenced residence in the October term of that year. A timely legacy from a relation gave him the means of proceeding to the University, which had long been an object of almost hopeless attainment. The late Bishop of London (jackson) was fond of telling how, during his early connection with Henley, he had been consulted by two ladies of straitened means, mothers of boys of no ordinary, promise, how to obtain University education for their sons.
