The Rt Revd John Fielder Mackarness, DD〔''University Intelligence.''The Times (London, England), Wednesday, 15 December 1869; pg. 5; Issue 26621.〕 (3 December 1820, Islington, London – 16 September 1889, Eastbourne〔''FUNERAL OF BISHOP MACKARNESS'' The Hampshire Advertiser (Southampton, England), Wednesday, 25 September 1889; pg. (); Issue 4517〕) was a Church of England bishop. ==Life== He was born in Islington on 8 December 1820, the eldest son of John Mackarness, a West India merchant (died 2 January 1870), and Catherine, daughter of George Smith Coxhead, M.D. His younger brother George served as the Bishop of Argyll and The Isles from 1874 to 1883. He was educated at Eton College〔"A History of Eton College" Cust,L.H: London, Duckworth & Co., 1899〕 and Merton College, Oxford.〔Alumni Oxonienses: the Members of the University of Oxford, 1715-1886: Their Parentage, Birthplace, and Year of Birth, with a Record of Their Degrees: Labouchere-Ryves Volume 3 p188〕 After matriculation he was elected a Fellow of Exeter College, Oxford. Mackarness was ordained on Sunday 18 May 1845.〔''ORDINATIONS''The Morning Post (London, England), Monday, 19 May 1845; pg. 3; Issue 23196〕 He was Vicar of St BartholomewTardebigge〔(Geograph )〕 (1845–1855); Rector of Honiton (1855–1870)〔W. P. Courtney, (John Mackarness ), ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', 2004. 〕 and finally Bishop of Oxford (1870–1889).〔"The Clergy List, Clerical Guide and Ecclesiastical Directory" London, Hamilton & Co 1889〕 At Eton he was captain of the football club, he rowed in the Merton boat, and was president of the Oxford Union. From 11 August 1846 to 1855, he held the vicarage of Tardebigge in Worcestershire, and from 1854 to 1868, he was an honorary canon of Worcester Cathedral. On the nomination of William Courtenay, 11th Earl of Devon, he was appointed to the rectory of Honiton, Devonshire, in 1855, and as such was responsible for the management of Honiton grammar school. This preferment he retained until his appointment to the episcopal bench, holding with it from 1858 a prebendal stall in Exeter Cathedral, and from 1867 the adjoining vicarage of Monkton. In 1866, he was elected as proctor in convocation for that diocese, but lost his seat in 1869 through declining to oppose the disestablishment of the Irish church. By the recommendation of Mr. Gladstone, he was appointed to the see of Oxford, being consecrated bishop on 25 January 1870, and invested as chancellor of the Garter on 5 February 1870, and he discharged the duties of the see until 1888, when failing health compelled him to retire, his resignation taking legal effect on 17 November 1888. He died at Angus House, Eastbourne, on 16 September 1889, and was buried on 21 September in Sandhurst Churchyard, Berkshire. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Mackarness」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
