George Stovin Venables (1810 – 1888), born in Wales, was a journalist and a barrister at the English bar.
His father was Richard Venables, vicar of Nantmel and then archdeacon of Carmarthen.〔() The National Library of Wales :: Dictionary of Welsh Biography]〕 He was educated at Eton College, Charterhouse School, and Jesus College, Cambridge. At Cambridge, he won the Chancellor's Gold Medal for poetry in 1831, and was a Cambridge Apostle from 1832.〔(The Apostles )〕 He became a Fellow of Jesus College.
He was called to the Bar at the Inner Temple in 1836, and was in practice for over 40 years. He also wrote much journalism from the mid-1850s, as a leader writer for the London ''Times'' and the ''Saturday Review''.〔David Carroll, ''George Eliot: The Critical Heritage'' (1995), p. 224.〕
