"MOORHOUSE JAMES (1826-1915), English divine, was born at Sheffield Nov. 19 1826. He was educated at St. John's College, Cambridge, where he graduated in 1853. He was ordained the same year, and made a reputation as an eloquent preacher, which brought him to the notice of Queen Victoria. He was made chaplain-in-ordinary to the Queen and a prebendary of St. Paul's in 1874, and in 1876 went to Australia as Bishop of Melbourne. In 1886 he was recalled to England to become Bishop of Manchester. He retired in 1903, and died at Poundisford Park, near Taunton, April 9 1915.

See Edith C. Rickards, Bishop Moorhouse (1920).
