Additional Description

Container Summary

Contains ALS to RW from Rt. Rev. Edmund A. Knox, Bishop of Coventry (since 1894). Addressed from Church House, Dean's Yard, Westminster, (2/8/1900): Dear Sir - I am much interested to hear of your intention of forming in Kidderminster a church schools board. But I doubt whether our Birmingham experience is likely to help you. We (I mean our Board) are in close touch with all our schools, and by helping them with grants from time to time, and skilled advice have saved several. But we manage none. @ Knox was born in Bangalore, December 6, 1847; son of Rev. G. Knox. He married twice, in 1880 to Ellen Penelope French (died 1892), and in 1895 to Ethel Mary Newton. He was educated at St. Paul's School and Corpus Christi College, Oxford. He received his B.A., 1868, M.A. 1870, and Hon. D.D. 1894. He was fellow, tutor, and dean of Merton College, Oxford; rector of Kibworth Beauchamp, Leicester, 1884-91; vicar of Ashton, Birmingham, 1891-94; honorary canon, Worcester Cathedral, 1894.
