Born: February 5, 1816, Merrion Square, Dublin, Ireland.

Died: April 30, 1873.

Son of Richard Pennefather, Baron of the Irish Court of Exchequer, William lived for a while (for educational purposes) at Wesbury College, near Bristol; then at Levans parsonage, near Kendal, Westmoreland. He entered Trinity College in Dublin in February 1832, and graduated B.A. in 1840. Taking Holy Orders in 1841, he became curate of Ballymacugh, diocese of Kilmore. In July 1844, he became vicar at Mellifont, near Drogheda. In 1848 he moved to England, where he was successively Incumbent of Trinity Church, Walton, Aylesbury, 1848; Christ Church, Barnet, 1852; and St. Jude’s, Mildmay Park, 1864. He was well known for the conferences he began at Barnet and continued at Mildmay, and for religious and charitable organizations he founded. He wrote his hymns mainly for the Barnet and Mildmay conferences; some were published in pamphlet form as Hymns Orig­in­al and Se­lect­ed, by W. P., 1872. Others appeared, mostly undated, in the posthumous Orig­in­al Hymns and Thoughts in Verse, 1873.
