(Redirected from William James Conybeare)

Very Rev. William James Conybeare (19 December 1871 – 13 May 1955) was an Anglican priest in the first half of the 20th century.

William James Conybeare was born in 1871 into a prominent Anglican family descended from John Conybeare (1692–1755), Bishop of Bristol. He was the son of Rev. John William Edward Conybeare, Vicar of Barrington, Cambridgeshire, and Frances Anne (née Cropper). His grandfathers were the clergyman and geologist William Conybeare, Dean of Llandaff; and the politician James Cropper. His father's brother were the author William Conybeare and the engineer Henry Conybeare. John Cropper was his great-grandfather. John Saul Howson, Dean of Chester, was his great-uncle, and his cousins included George Howson, Archdeacon of Liverpool; and James Howson, Archdeacon of Craven.

Ordained in 1898, he was Domestic Chaplain to successive Archbishops of Canterbury then Head of the Cambridge House Lay Settlement, Camberwell. In 1909 he became Rector of Newington and in 1916 Rector of Southwell Minster and Archdeacon of Nottingham. In time he became the first Provost of Southwell, a post he held from 1931 to 1945.
