"Samuel Hinds (1793-1872) was bishop from 1849-1857. Born in Barbados, Hinds was educated at Charterhouse, then Queen's College, Oxford, where he graduated in 1815 with a second-class BA. Known to be a missionary with the Society for the Conversion of Negroes, he was ordained in 1822, at first becoming appointed as domestic chaplain to Richard Whately, Archbishop of Dublin in 1831. After returning to England due to illness in 1834, Hinds became vicar of Yardley, Hertfordshire until 1843, when he was appointed vicar of the united parishes of Castleknock, Clonsilla and Mullahidart in the diocese of Dublin, at the same time resuming his position as one of Archbishop Whately's chaplains.
"In 1846, Hinds became first chaplain to the lord lieutenant of Ireland; he left Castleknock and Ireland altogether to become dean of Carlisle in 1848. On the death of Edward Stanley in 1849, Hinds became Bishop of Norwich. A year later, he chaired the royal commission on Oxford University and was noted for his competence and liberal credentials. His commission's report of 1852 gave the university a chance for a historical turning point, of which the institution failed to take full advantage.
"Hinds married twice throughout his life. His first wife died in 1834 and in 1856, he married Sarah Emily, who survived him. He was also a prolific writer of sermons, poems and articles on various subjects, e.g. The Three Temples of The One True God Contrasted (1830) and Introduction To Logic (1837).
