NEALE, JOHN MASON (18181866) , English divine and scholar, was born in London on the 24th of January 1818, and was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge . Here he was affected by the Oxford movement , and helped to found the Camden (afterwards the Ecclesiological) Society. Though he took orders in 1841, ill-health prevented his settling in England till 1846, when he became warden of Sackville College, an alms-house at East Grinstead, an appointment which he held till his death on the 6th of August 1866.
Neale was strongly high-church in his sympathies, and had to endure a good deal of opposition, including a fourteen years' inhibition by his bishop. In 1855 he founded a nursing sisterhood named St Margaret's. He occupies a high place as a hymnologist, but principally as a translator of ancient and medieval hymns, the best known being probably " Brief life is here our portion," "To thee, 0 dear, dear country," and " Jerusalem, the golden," which are included in the poem of Bernard See Also: - BERNARD, CHARLES DE
