Career

Hoskyns was born on 9 August 1884 in Notting Hill, London, the eldest child and only son of Bishop Edwyn Hoskyns and his wife Mary Constance Maude Benson.[1] He was a fellow and Dean of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge,[1] and a notable biblical scholar. On his father's death in 1925, he succeeded to the Hoskyns baronetcy. His influence on the next generation of clergymen was considerable, e.g., on Michael Ramsey,[2] Gabriel Hebert, Christopher Evans,[3][4] and Donald Lynch.[5]

He died on 28 June 1937 in London and was buried in Grantchester, Cambridgeshire.[1]

gollark: Seatbelts have a really low chance of saving your life, but we still use *those*.
gollark: It's a cost/benefit thing I guess, in that while you could be near-certain of avoiding it if you totally isolated yourself from society, but that would be bad.
gollark: If you *can* avoid COVID-19 somehow you're avoiding a 2% (depending on age I guess) death risk, and I'm pretty sure people regularly do things to avoid risks smaller than that.
gollark: Humans do have dead cells at the top of skin or something to partly block UV light, but I have no idea how effective that is.
gollark: Yes, probably.
