Walsham How
William Walsham How;(13 December 1823 – 10 August 1897) was an English bishop.
Known as Walsham How, he was the son of a Shrewsbury solicitor, How was educated at Shrewsbury School, Wadham College, Oxford and University College, Durham.〔(Durham University, p. 169. )〕 He was ordained in 1846, and after a curacy at Kidderminster, began more than thirty years actively engaged in parish work in Shropshire, as curate at the Abbey Church in Shrewsbury in 1848. In 1851 he became Rector of Whittington and was at one point Rural Dean of Oswestry in 1860.
==Writings==
It was during his period at Whittington he wrote the bulk of his published works and founded the first public library in Oswestry.〔 In 1863–1868 he brought out a ''Commentary on the Four Gospels'' and he also wrote a manual for the Holy Communion. Published by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge during the 1890s under the title "Holy Communion, Preparation and Companion...together with the Collects, Epistles and Gospels" this book was widely distributed and many copies still survive today. In the movement for infusing new spiritual life into the church services, especially among the poor, How was a great force. He took a stand against what he regarded as immoral literature and Thomas Hardy claimed that he had burned a copy of his novel ''Jude the Obscure''.〔Slack, Robert C. ''Nineteenth-Century Fiction'' 11(4) (March 1957) pp. 261–275.〕 How was much helped in his earlier work by his wife, Frances A. Douglas (died 1887).
