Henry Charles Beeching (15 May 1859 – 25 February 1919)[1] was a British clergyman, author and poet, who was Dean of Norwich from 1911 to 1919.[2]BiographyBeeching was born in 1859, he was the son of JPG Beeching of Bexhill in Sussex.[3] He was educated at the City of London School[4] and at Balliol College, Oxford.[5] He took holy orders in 1882, and began work in a Liverpool parish,{{sfn|Chisholm|1911}} at Mossley Hill. He was Rector of Yattendon from 1885 to 1900; Clark Lecturer at Trinity College, Cambridge in 1900; Professor of Pastoral Theology at King's College London from 1900 to 1903; Chaplain of Lincoln's Inn from 1900 to 1903;[6]Canon of Westminster Cathedral from October 1902 until 1911[7][8] and Dean of Norwich from 1911[9] until his death. He wrote a book on Francis Atterbury.{{sfn|Sprent|2004}} To him is attributed the popular epigram on Benjamin Jowett: First come I; my name is Jowett. There's no knowledge but I know it. I am master of this college: What I don't know isn't knowledge. This is the first verse of The Masque of B-ll—l[10] (1880), a scurrilous undergraduate production in 40 verses satirising Balliol figures. It was suppressed at the time; later research{{Citation needed|date=March 2013}} has given Beeching credit for 19 of those. Bibliography- Love in Idleness: A Volume of Poems (1883) with J. W.
