William Henry Jones (1817–1885), William Henry Rich Jones from 1883, was an English Anglican priest and antiquarian.

Life

The eldest son of William Jones, chief secretary of the Religious Tract Society, he was born in the parish of Christchurch, Blackfriars, on 31 August 1817. He was educated at a school in Totteridge, Hertfordshire, at King's College, London, and at Magdalen Hall, Oxford. At Oxford he won the Boden scholarship for Sanskrit in 1837, and graduated B.A. 1840, and M.A. in 1844.^[1]

In 1841 Jones became curate of St Andrew, Holborn, in the following year rector of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, in 1845 incumbent of St. James's, Curtain Road, Shoreditch, and in 1851 vicar of Bradford-on-Avon in Wiltshire, where he restored the Anglo-Saxon church. From 1861 to 1873 he acted as rural dean of Potterne. In 1872 he was appointed surrogate of the diocese of Salisbury and canon of Salisbury.^[1]

Jones was elected a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London in 1849. He died suddenly at the vicarage, Bradford-on-Avon, on 28 October 1885.^[1]
