Henry Jenner (bishop)
Henry Lascelles Jenner,[1] DD[2] (b Chislehurst June 6, 1820 - d Preston-next-Wingham September 18, 1898)[3] was a nineteenth century Anglican bishop.[4]
Jenner was educated at Harrow and Trinity Hall, Cambridge; and ordained deacon in 1843 and priest in 1844.[5] After a curacy in Cornwall , he became Rector of Preston-next-Wingham,[6] and died in post. In 1865, however, he was consecrated as the first Bishop of Dunedin, New Zealand, but never took possession of the See despite a visit to the area between 1868 and 1869:[7] this is believed to be due to his Anglo-Catholic leanings.[8]
His son was a British scholar of the Celtic languages, a Cornish cultural activist, and the chief originator of the Cornish language revival.[9]
Jenner played first-class cricket in four matches 1839–1842, representing Marylebone Cricket Club, Cambridge University Cricket Club and the Gentlemen of Kent.[10]
