Henry Church Jones

Henry James Church Jones[1] (30 August 1870 – 18 January 1941)[2] was a Church in Wales priest,[3] most notably Archdeacon of Brecon from 1923 until 1939.[4]

This British surname is barrelled, being made up of multiple names. It should be written as Church Jones, not Jones.

Church Jones[5] was born at Aberporth and educated at Christ College, Brecon and St John's College, Oxford.[6] He was ordained deacon in 1893, and priest in 1894. After a curacy in Brecon he was Vicar of Battle from 1904 to 1919; and a Canon at Brecon Cathedral from 1919 to 1923.
