Henry Garrett Newland (19 March 1805 – 25 June 1860)[1] was an English cleric and author, a supporter of theTractarian movement.
Born in London in 1805, five years later he accompanied his father, Richard Bingham Newland (1780–1863), to Sicily, where he remained for seven years. In 1816 he was sent to school atLausanne, Switzerland, to learn French. At the end of that year he returned to England.[2]
In 1823, Newland matriculated atChrist's College, Cambridge, but then migrated toCorpus Christi College, where he graduated B.A. in 1827 and M.A. in 1830.[3] After being ordained priest in 1829, he was, in September that year, presented to thesinecure rectory ofWestbourne, West Sussex, and also held curacies in thediocese of Chichester, until January 1834, when he became vicar of Westbourne.[2]

In the autumn of 1855 he moved to the vicarage ofSt Marychurch withCoffinswell, nearTorquay inDevon, whereHenry Phillpotts thebishop of Exeter appointed him his domestic chaplain.[2] Phillpotts, not a Tractarian, approved of the movement.[4]
