Biography

He was educated at Kings College, London and Worcester College, Oxford, where he graduated BA in 1869 and MA in 1871. He was ordained a deacon in 1871 and priest in 1872. He was Curate, firstly at St. Giles, Norwich (1871) and subsequently at St. Michael's, South Brent, Somerset (subsequently re-named "Brent Knoll" to avoid confusion with the village of the same name in Devonshire). Julius then became Vicar at St. Mary's, Shapwick, Somerset, a post retained until 1878 and following which he was appointed to the cure of Holy Trinity, Islington. In 1884 he left England for Australia to become Archdeacon for the diocese of Ballarat, Victoria, a post he held until 1890.

In 1889 he was nominated to the Diocese of Christchurch, New Zealand, and became the second Bishop of Christchurch in 1890. He was active in completing the Christchurch Cathedral, and in support for education, which is remembered in the Bishop Julius Hostel for women students. He was made Primate or Head of the Church in New Zealand in 1902, and in 1922 was made the first Primate and Archbishop of New Zealand. He retired in 1925.
