Early lifeBorn in London, he was educated at St Paul's School, London and at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he displayed exceptional ability as a classical scholar, graduating with a bachelor of arts degree in 1828; later graduating with a master of arts in 1831 and doctor of divinity in 1861.[2][3] He married Susannah, elder daughter of George Penrice, of Elmbridge, Worcestershire, on 25 December 1830, and they had two daughters.[2] After his ordination in the Anglican ministry in 1830, he served an assistant master under Thomas Arnold at Rugby School, who thought highly of him.[2][3] In 1837, he became rector of Ayot St Peter, Hertfordshire, and in 1838 headmaster of King Edward's School, Birmingham, where he had among his pupils Edward White Benson, Joseph Barber Lightfoot and Brooke Foss Westcott. There is also a house named after him. He was also appointed an honorary canon of Worcester in 1847.[2][3] Episcopal careerOn 23 October 1847, he was nominated the first bishop of the newly constituted Anglican Diocese of Manchester by Queen Victoria, on the advice of Lord John Russell.[3]{{sfn|Fryde|Greenway|Porter|Roy|1986|p=260}}{{sfn|Horn|Smith|Mussett|2004|p=121}} His election took place on 17 November 1847,{{sfn|Horn|Smith|Mussett|2004|p=121}} followed by consecration on 23 January 1848, and enthronement at Manchester Cathedral on 11 February 1848.{{sfn|Fryde|Greenway|Porter|Roy|1986|p=260}} Lee's schoolmasterly manner was an irritation to his clergy.[3] However, he carried out great work in church extension.[3] During his twenty-one years' tenure of the see, he consecrated 130 churches. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1849.[4] He took a foremost part in founding the Manchester free library in 1852, and bequeathed his own valuable collection of books to Owens College.[2][3] He died at his home, Mauldeth Hall,[5] Stockport, in 1869, and was buried in Heaton Mersey churchyard. His memorial sermon was preached by the Rev. Edward Benson (afterwards archbishop of Canterbury) and was published with biographical details by J. F. Wickenden and others.
