James Garbett
James Garbett (1802-1879) was a British academic and Anglican cleric who became the Archdeacon of Chichester.[1]
He was a Fellow of Brasenose College, Oxford.[2] He was an Evangelical and an opponent of the Oxford Movement.[3]
He was the anti-Tractarian candidate in the election of the Professor of Poetry in 1841/2. The 'Oxford Movement' candidate to replace John Keble in that position was Isaac Williams. Slender as his credentials were for the post, Garbett won, in a politicised campaign run by Ashurst Turner Gilbert, Principal of Brasenose.[4]
He was appointed Archdeacon of Chichester in 1851 and served until 1879.
In his book Diocesan Synods and Convocation he argued for the abolition of synods.[5]
