DEANS OF WORCESTER.

1800—Rev. Arthur Onslow, D.D.

1817—October—The Rev. John Bankes Jenkinson.

1825—August—The Rev. James Hook, LL.D.

1828—March—The Rev. Dr. Murray, Bishop of Rochester.

1845—December—The Rev. John Peel, Rector of Waresley, and brother of the Premier, in the stead of the Bishop of Rochester, who gave up this piece of preferment in accordance with the arrangements of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. To the Deanery of Worcester had hitherto been attached the Vicarage of Bromsgrove, with which were the Vicarage of Kingsnorton and the Chapelries of Christ Church, Moseley, and Wythal. All of these had been held by the Bishop of Rochester, and Bromsgrove had been without a resident Vicar for half a century. These preferments are now separated from the Deanery.
