Hugh Willoughby Jermyn (25 August 1820– 17 September 1903) was an Anglican bishop in the second half of the 19th century[1] and the very start of the 20th.

Biography

He was born in Swaffham, and educated at Westminster and Trinity Hall, Cambridge.[2] Ordained in 1845,[3] his career began as a Curate at Kensington Parish Church after which he was incumbent of St John's, Forres.[4] Following this he was Dean of Moray & Ross [5] then Archdeacon of Saint Kitts. He returned to Britain in 1858 to be Rural Dean of Dunster before being appointed Vicar of Barking. In 1871 he was elevated to the Episcopate as the 3rd Bishop of Colombo and in 1875 translated to Brechin.[6] Eleven years later he became Primus of Scotland,[7] a post he held until 1901. He died on 17 September 1903.[8]

gollark: If I eventually migrate to osmarks.net or something instead, will the universe just implode under the weight of the references which will need updating?

gollark: Hmm, so your REAL real name is REALLY lukas?

gollark: Yes. Subjectively, it sounds strange.
