Henry Garrett Newland

Henry Garrett Newland (19 March 1805 – 25 June 1860)[1] was an English cleric and author, a supporter of the Tractarian movement.

Life

Born in London, he accompanied at age five his father Col. Bingham Newland to Sicily, where he remained for seven years. In 1816 he was sent to school at Lausanne, Switzerland, to learn French. At the end of that year he returned to England.[2]

In 1823 Newland matriculated at Christ's College, Cambridge, but then migrated to Corpus Christi College, where he graduated B.A. in 1827 and M.A. in 1830.[3] After being ordained priest in 1829, he was, in September that year, presented to the sinecure rectory of Westbourne, West Sussex, and also held curacies in the diocese of Chichester, until January 1834, when he became vicar of Westbourne.[2]

At St John the Baptist's Church, Westbourne, Newland established a daily choral service, and preached Tractarian doctrines. In the autumn of 1855 he moved to the vicarage of St Marychurch with Coffinswell, near Torquay in Devon, where Henry Phillpotts the bishop of Exeter appointed him his domestic chaplain.[2] Phillpotts, not a Tractarian, approved of the movement.[4]

Newland died unmarried at St. Marychurch, Devon on 25 June 1860.[2]
