<p>Henry Edward Manning (1808–92), the younger son of William Manning, a West India merchant of London, was ordained priest in the Anglican Church, December 1832. He early showed marked ability and became a leader of the High Church party centred on Oxford. He was received into the Roman Catholic Church in 1851 and from 1865 until his death in January 1892 was Archbishop of Westminster. He was enthroned as Cardinal at Rome in 1875. He took a keen interest in primary education, housing and other social problems.</p>
