1733 1806 Asaph Bishop Horsley Samuel
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the distinguished visage of the Reverend Samuel Horsley (1733-1806), the Lord Bishop of Saint Asaph in Wales. Horsley's impressive career in the Church of England spanned over five decades, beginning with his ordination as a deacon in 1758 and his consecration as Bishop of St. Asaph in 1795. Born in London, Horsley was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he excelled academically and developed a deep commitment to the Anglican faith. He was known for his piety, scholarship, and pastoral care, and was highly regarded for his sermons and theological writings. The image of Horsley portrays him in the regal attire of a bishop, wearing a mitre and holding a pastoral staff. His solemn expression and piercing gaze convey a sense of wisdom, authority, and spiritual depth. The richly textured fabric of his robe and the intricate details of his mitre and staff add to the overall sense of grandeur and dignity. Horsley's tenure as Bishop of Saint Asaph was marked by his dedication to the welfare of his diocese and his efforts to promote religious education and charitable works. He oversaw the construction of several new churches and schools, and established a fund to provide financial assistance to needy students. This striking portrait of Samuel Horsley offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable religious leader who left a lasting impact on the Church in Wales and beyond. His legacy continues to inspire and challenge us to deepen our own spiritual lives and to serve our communities with compassion and dedication.
