Henry Bristow Wilson

Henry Bristow Wilson

Henry Bristow Wilson (1803–1888) was a theologian and a fellow of St John's College, Oxford.

Life

He was Rawlinsonian Professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford from 1839 to 1844.

Wilson contributed an article to "Essays and Reviews" (1860), as a result of which he was prosecuted for heterodoxy in the Court of Arches. His case was tried together with that of Rowland Williams; he was found guilty of three of the articles brought against him, but, as with Williams, the decision was reversed on appeal.
