John Howson (priest)
After receiving his early education at Giggleswick School, of which his father was head-master, he went to Trinity College, Cambridge.[1] Graduating BA in 1837 and MA in 1840, he became private tutor at Cambridge to the marquess of Sligo and the marquess of Lorne. In 1845 Howson, having taken orders, accepted the post of senior classical master at the Liverpool College under his friend W. J. Conybeare, whom he succeeded as principal in 1849. This post he held until 1865, and it was largely due to his influence that a similar college for girls was established at Liverpool.
On 2 June 1865, Howson was appointed as Honorary Chaplain of the 1st Lancashire Rifle Volunteer Corps.[2]
In 1866 he left Liverpool for the vicarage of Wisbech, and in 1867 he was appointed dean of Chester Cathedral, where he gave himself vigorously to the work of restoring the crumbling fabric, collecting nearly £100,000 in five years for this purpose[3] His restoration created a great debate and led in part to formation of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings.[4]
