Christopher Wordsworth (1807-1885)

Nephew of poet William Wordsworth, Christopher was both a scholar and athlete in his student days. Later, he served as headmaster of Harrow Boys School (1836-1850), which Winston Churchill would attend a century or so later. Wordsworth was also vicar at Stanford-in-the-Vale, Berkshire (1850-1869), and archdeacon of Westminster, and became bishop of Lincoln in 1868. A recognized Greek scholar, he also wrote theological and other works. Of his hymns, he said, “It is the first duty of a hymn to teach sound doctrine and thence to save souls.” His works include:

  • Athens and Attica, 1836
  • Ancient Writings Copied from the Walls of Pompeii, 1837
  • Greece, Pictoral, Descriptive, and Historical, 1839
  • Theophilus Anglicanus, 1843
  • On the Canon of the Scriptures, 1848
  • Memoirs of William Wordsworth, 1851
  • The Holy Year; or Hymns for Sundays and Holydays throughout the Year, And for other Occasions, 1863
