The Project
Herbert
Hensley Henson (1863-1947), was a leading public figure and
clergyman in the Church of England, at first in Westminster and
principally in Durham. He has been described by Owen Chadwick as
‘the most celebrated Anglican mind of the twentieth century’, and
the author of ‘the most caustic diary ever written by a Christian
bishop’.
The project aimed to create a digital edition of his Journals from
1900 to 1939, when he was most active and influential in Church
and state. The edition makes a valuable resource available for
research on many subjects and was originally envisioned to form
the basis for Big Data analysis.

Humanities Research Council that funded the project.
