History of the chair
In 1842, Queen Victoria founded the Regius Professorship for Church History in Oxford. At this time there was already a Regius Professorship of Ecclesiastical History at the University of Glasgow , where, however, the position of the Church of Scotland was taught, which in parts differed from that of the Church of England . The first professor was Robert Hussey , who had already proven himself in various offices at the university. During this period, religious life in Oxford was split in two-party controversy. Hussey held the post until his death in 1856.
His successor, Arthur Penrhyn Stanley , was also a veteran of the University and the Church of England. Through his lectures, sermons, and social position he exerted a significant influence on young men at Oxford. His independent stance on the Oxford conflict and his consistent demeanor earned him a high level of respect among decision-makers.
Although he was no historian (at least in 1866), Henry Longueville Mansel was appointed Regius Professor in 1866 . His academic achievements were in the field of philosophy.
Sarah Foot Regius is currently Professor. She researches medieval abbeys and the role of women in religion.
