The Right Rev. John Jas. Stewart Perowne, D.D., was born at Burdwan,
Bengal, of a family of French extraction, that came over to this
country at the revocation of the French Edict of Nantes. He was
educated at Norwich Grammar School, and at Corpus Christi College,
Cambridge. Dr. Perowne took his B.A. degree in 1845, and that of
M.A. in 1848, and was elected a Fellow of his College in 1849. He
was appointed Honorary Chaplain to the Queen in 1875. In 1890 he was
consecrated Bishop of Worcester, in succession to Dr. Philpott, who
resigned.
