Most Revd Samuel Tarratt Nevill, DD (13 May 1837 – 29 October 1921),[1] was the first Anglican Bishop of Dunedin, later Primate of New Zealand.[2]

Life

A scion of the ancient Nevilles, he was educated at Nottingham High School, before attending St Aidan's College, Birkenhead, and briefly Trinity College, Dublin, before being ordained in 1860. He then went up to Magdalene College, Cambridge[3] where he graduated B.A. (second-class Natural Science Tripos) in 1865, proceeding M.A. in 1868, and received D.D. in 1871.[4]

Ordained in 1860, as Curate of St Mark's, Scarisbrick,[5] he was then Rector of Shelton, Staffordshire, where he remained incumbent until his elevation to the episcopate. As Rector of Shelton, Nevill also held a certificate of the Science and Art Department, South Kensington, qualifying him to instruct candidates for examination in the Education Department, and was thus instrumental in laying the foundation of the career of some who have attained positions of eminence.[4]

In 1871 Nevill accepted the bishopric of Dunedin and was consecrated in the pro-cathedral, Dunedin, by the Primate of New Zealand (Bishop Harper) and Bishops Suter of Nelson, Hadfteld of Wellington, and Williams of Waiapu. Dr. Nevill twice revisited England to attend Lambeth Conferences. He served as Primate of New Zealand from 1904 until 1919 (having previously acted as Primate since 1902).[6]

He died at Bishopsgrove, near Dunedin, New Zealand and was buried at St Barnabas Church, Warrington, and, at his death, was the senior bishop in the Anglican Communion. The Nevill Chapel of St. Paul's Cathedral, Dunedin is named in his memory; St Paul's has a carving depicting the Lord Bishop holding a model of the Cathedral's proposed design[7]

Nevill married first, at Heavitree, Devon, in 1863, Mary Susannah Cook Penny (a collateral ancestor of the Viscounts Marchwood), who died in 1905. In 1906, he married second Rosalind Fynes-Clinton (died 1972), daughter of Rev Canon Geoffrey Fynes-Clinton (1847–1934), a distant cousin of the Dukes of Newcastle, but had no children by either marriage.[8][9]
