An English hymn-writer; born in Calverley, Yorkshire, June 28, 1814; died at the Oratory, Brompton, Sept. 26, 1863. He was long in the Anglican priesthood, and wrote hymns of singular sweetness and spirituality; going over at last to Rome and voicing his new fervor in much sacred song. A collection of the "Hymns" (1848) has gone through more than one edition.
