Historique

Admitted to Magdalene College in 1862, aged 25 and already ordained, as a Fellow-Commoner. Previously trained in industrial design and lithography. Gained a Class II in Natural Sciences Tripos, 1865. Rector of Shelton, Staffs, 1864-1871; protégé of Bishop Selwyn, and thus first Bishop of Dunedin, 1871-1919, an exceptionally long episcopate; Primate of New Zealand, 1904-1919; Sub-Prelate of the Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem, 1906.
Made an Honorary Fellow in 1906, proposed by A. C. Benson (Ref: Archive Benson Diary, 14 May 1906, vol 81, f 36v).
In his diocese he increased the number of churches from eight to nearly seventy, and founded a theological college, two schools and two orphanages, as well as the cathedral. Nevill was of ‘dominating personality’, fiercely defensive of the autonomy of colonial churches, notably at the Lambeth Conference of 1878.

Arms in Hall glass, W3.
