Hugh Reginald Haweis

Reverend Hugh Reginald Haweis (April 3, 1838 – January 29, 1901) was an English cleric and writer.

Biography

Reverend H.R. Haweis was born in Egham, Surrey in 1838.

On leaving Trinity College, Cambridge, he travelled in Italy and served under Garibaldi in 1860. On his return to England he was ordained and held various curacies in London, becoming in 1866 incumbent of St James's, Marylebone.

His unconventional methods of conducting the service, combined with his dwarfish figure and lively manner, soon attracted crowded congregations. He married Mary E. Joy in 1866, and both he and Mrs Haweis (d. 1898) contributed largely to periodical literature and travelled a good deal abroad. Haweis was Lowell lecturer in Boston, in 1885, and represented the Anglican Church at the Chicago Parliament of Religions in 1893.

He was much interested in music, and wrote books on violins and church bells, besides contributing an article to the 9th edition of the "Encyclopædia Britannica" on bell-ringing. His best-known book was "Music and Morals" (1871), which went through sixteen editions before the end of the century, and was for a time editor of "Cassell's Magazine". He also wrote the five-volume "Christ and Christianity", a popular church history (1886–1887), as well as "Travel and Talk" (1896) and similar chatty and entertaining books.
