STANLEY, EDWARD (1779-1849)

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 779 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SOU-STE
STANLEY, EDWARD (1779-1849) ,
bishop
  of
Norwich
 , the younger brother of the 1st Baron
Stanley
  of Alderley, was born in London and educated at St John's College,
Cambridge
  (16th wrangler, 1802). He was ordained in 1802 and became
rector
  of Alderley, Cheshire, three years later. Here he took a
great
 
interest
  in education, and encouraged especially the teaching of secular subjects at his school. In 1837 he was consecrated
bishop
  of
Norwich
 . The diocese at this time was conspicuous for laxity and want of discipline, and this he proceeded to remedy, although at first he met w:;.h much opposition. Ordinations and confirmations were held more regularly and frequently, the schools were properly inspected, the Plurality Act was enforced and undesirable clergy were removed. He was tolerant towards Dissenters and supported all missionary undertakings without regarding their sectarian associations. In politics he was a Liberal and devoted himself especially to educational questions. Dean
Stanley
  (see above) was his third son.
Stanley's letters, Before and after Waterloo (edited by J. H. Adeane and M. Grenfell, 1907), are full of
interest
  to students of Napoleonic history.
