William Sowerby (clergyman)
William Sowerby (1799–1875) was an English cleric who served in Cumberland before moving to New South Wales, Australia. He was the first Anglican priest at Goulburn and took a keen interest in the education, health and social welfare of the local population. Early career William Sowerby was born on 31 August 1799 at Castle Sowerby near Penrith, Cumberland, England. He was the son of a farmer, William Sowerby. At the age of 16, after clerical tutelage, he became a school teacher and in 1823, he entered St Bees College to study for the ministry. William was ordained in 1826 becoming curate to St. Bridget Beckermet, Cumberland. It is apparent that Sowerby had a close association with the emerging campaigner for better architectural education and professional status, William Wallen (1807-1888). In 1836, Wallen dedicated his book, ''The History and Antiquities of the Round Church at Little Maplestead'', to the Rev. William Sowerby, “with sentiments of respect and esteem”. ...

St Bees Theological College
St Bees Theological College, close to the coast of Cumberland, was the first independent theological college to be established for the training of Church of England ordinands. It was founded in 1816 by George Henry Law, Bishop of Chester, in what was during those years the northern extremity of his diocese. For many subsequent years the vicar of St Bees was effectively both the principal of the college and also its proprietor. The college drew students both from England and from Wales. It catered particularly for those prospective ordinands for whom the cost of a traditional university degree course would have been prohibitive. They attended lectures and had their library within the rebuilt chancel of St Bees Priory, whilst living in lodgings throughout the parish.Nicholas Groves, Theological Colleges: their hoods and histories, published by the Burgon Society, 2004, pages 18-19, Over 2,600 clergy are believed to have trained at the college during the course of its history.
