About the author
Born in Brackley, Northamptonshire, in 1798, he was educated at St Edmund Hall, Oxford, taking his B.A. in 1824 and his M.A. in 1827. After entering holy orders, he served as curate of Chatteris in Cambridgeshire and later held the perpetual curacy of Wootton in Northamptonshire.
He is chiefly remembered as an ecclesiastical historian. His works include studies of English episcopacy, convocation, and major religious controversies, written from a clearly Anglican point of view but with a strong documentary interest.
Lathbury died in Bristol in 1865. He also had a literary family connection through his son, Daniel Conner Lathbury, who became a newspaper editor and writer.
