      Comments
      VENN: Adm. sizar at ST CATHARINE'S, Nov. 11, 1822. Of Rotherhithe. [B. at Knottingley, near Pontefract, in 1795, being a member of the Dealtry family of Lofthouse Hall, near Wakefield, who are said to have been poor.] Mainly self-taught. After leaving school was usher in a school at Doncaster, and tutor in a private family, marrying the sister of his pupil under romantic circumstances in 1819. She died and he married again in 1824. ' Matric. Michs. 1826; LL.B. (1st Class Law Classes) 1828. Ord. deacon (Ely) June 1, 1828; priest, Nov. 2, 1828. Officiating Minister, St Mary-the-Less, Cambridge, June-Nov. 1828, and at St Giles's and St Peter's churches, July, 1828. His preaching attracted the attention of Charles Simeon who was instrumental in sending him to India, where he was a chaplain in Bengal, 1828-48. In 1835, when still in this office, appointed Archdeacon of Calcutta by Daniel Wilson, Bishop of Calcutta. When home on leave in 1848-9 ministered at St John's, Bedford Row, London. Was for some years Hon. Secretary to the C.M.S. at Calcutta. In 1849, when on the point of retiring from the East India Company's service, nominated as third Bishop of Madras on the recommendation of Bishop Wilson. Consecrated at Lambeth, Dec. 1849, and created D.D. by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Arrived at Madras at the end of Jan. 1850, and landed there under the then usual salute of seventeen guns, enthroned at the Cathedral under the orders of Government, Feb. 2, 1850. 'It is a remarkable fact that so little was thought of the ceremony and of the importance of his enthronement, that very few persons besides the local clergy were present, and no notice was taken of it in the local press. This omission did not trouble him, for he thought very little of either himself.' One of his first innovations at Madras Cathedral was 'to shorten the Sunday morning services to the great joy of the congregation.' After an episcopate lasting nearly 12 years, during which he was responsible for much church building, the Bishop died in Madras, Mar. 4, 1861, aged 65. Buried in the Cathedral burial ground where, on his tomb, it is recorded that 'he laboured in India with singular fidelity and unsparing devotion for more than 30 years.' 'Monumental inscription. Madras Cathedral. Author, The Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ proved from his own discourse, 1830. Father of the next. (D.N.B.; Boase, I. 841-2; G. Mag., 1861, I. 583; J.J. Higginbotham, The Episcopate of Bishop Dealtry.)
