Howson

Howson, JOHN SAUL, dean of Chester, was born in 1816, and in 1837 took a double first-class at Cambridge. Taking orders eight years later, in 1849 he became principal of the Liverpool College, and in 1867 dean of Chester. The complete restoration of the cathedral was in great measure due to his energy and devotion. He died 15th December 1885. With Conybeare he wrote the well-known Life and Epistles of St Paul (1852).
