Henry Langley (Dean of Melbourne)

Henry Thomas Langley (30 March 1877 – 28 November 1968[1]) was the Anglican Dean of Melbourne from 1942 to 1947.[2]

Langley was born in Windsor, New South Wales. He attended Caulfield Grammar School in the 1890s (and served on the Caulfield Grammar School Council from 1931 to 1945),[3] was educated from 1894 at Trinity College, Melbourne and ordained in 1901.[4] After curacies in Sale, Morwell, Yarram, Marrickville and Sydney he became the rector of Traralgon in 1907. He was then the incumbent at St Mary's Anglican Church (now known as Oaktree Anglican Church) in Caulfield, Victoria from 1911 to 1942.

In August 1942, Langley was elected Dean of Melbourne, replacing Archbishop Head, who had acted as dean since the retirement of George Aickin in 1932.[5]
