Bishop Davys was advanced to this see in 1839. He was formerly a fellow
of Christ's Church College, Cambridge, and took a wrangler's degree in
1803. He subsequently became curate of Littlebury, and in 1814 of
Chesterford; this latter curacy he held until Dr. Bloomfield, the late
bishop of London, was presented to that living, when Mr. Davys became
curate of Swaffham Prior; he afterwards removed to Kensington, and was
appointed tutor to the Princess Victoria. Shortly after this he was
presented to the rectory of All-Hallows, London, and in 1831 to the
deanery of Chester, on which occasion he took the degree of doctor of
divinity. He discharged his episcopal duties for a period of about
twenty-five years in such a manner as to gain universal esteem; and
died at Peterborough, after a short illness, in the 84th year of his
age, on the 18th April, 1864.

The Rev. Dr. Francis Jeune, who was appointed to the Bishopric in the
room of Dr. Davys, was educated at Pembroke College, Oxford, were he
graduated in 1827, when he took a first-class in classics. In 1832 he
was admitted into Holy Orders by Dr. Bagot, Bishop of Oxford, being
then tutor of his College. In 1834 he was elected to the Head
Mastership of King Edward's School, Birmingham, and held that
appointment until 1838, when he was nominated to the Deanery of Jersey,
and the Rectory of St. Heliers. In 1843 he was elected to the
Mastership of Pembroke College, with a canonry at Gloucester annexed,
and almost immediately afterwards he was presented by the Dean and
Chapter of Gloucester to the Rectory of Taynton. In 1850 he was
appointed one of Her Majesty's Commissioners of Inquiry for the
University of Oxford,
