Extract

Several nineteenth-century Catholic bishops have found biographers, not only, as might be expected, the three archbishops of Westminster but also Ullathorne of Birmingham and Grant of South-wark. Yet Robert Cornthwaite, who was bishop in Yorkshire for almost twenty-nine years, laying the foundations for the three modern dioceses of Middlesbrough, Leeds and Hallam; who was Manning’s chief supporter at the Vatican Council and the most Ultramontane of the English bishops; and who was that allegedly rare creature, both an able administrator and a man of great spirituality, has been neglected. It is surely time to remedy matters.
