Wordsworth was the younger brother of the classical scholar John Wordsworth and Charles Wordsworth , Bishop of Saint Andrews, Dunkeld and Dunblane . He was educated at Winchester and Trinity, Cambridge . Like his brother Charles, he was distinguished as an athlete as well as for scholarship. He won the Chancellor's Gold Medal for poetry in 1827 and 1828. He became senior classic, and was elected a fellow and tutor of Trinity in 1830; shortly afterwards he took holy orders. He went for a tour in Greece in 1832–1833, and published various works on its topography and archaeology , the most famous of which is "Wordsworth's" Greece . In 1836 he became Public Orator at Cambridge, and in the same year was appointed Headmaster of Harrow , a post he resigned in 1844. In 1844 Sir Robert Peel appointed him as a Canon of Westminster . He was Vicar of Stanford in the Vale , Berkshire and Archdeacon of Westminster . In 1869 Benjamin Disraeli appointed him Bishop of Lincoln which he retained until his death in 1885.

He was a man of fine character, with a high ideal of ecclesiastical duty, and he spent his money generously on church objects. He is buried near the Shrine of St Hugh in Lincoln Cathedral .Works As a scholar he is best known for his edition of the Greek New Testament , and the Old Testament , with commentaries; but his writings were many in number, and included a volume of devotional verse, The Holy Year , Church History up to A.D. 451 , and Memoirs of his uncle, William Wordsworth, to whom he was literary executor . His Inscriptiones Pompeianae was an important contribution to epigraphy. He also wrote several hymns of which perhaps the best known is the Easter hymn 'Alleluia, Alleluia, hearts to heaven and voices raise'. With William Cooke , a Canon of Chester, Wordsworth edited for the Henry Bradshaw Society the early 15th century Ordinale Sarum of Clement Maydeston , but the work did not appear in print until 1901, several years after the death of both editors.Books 1836 1837 1839 1843 1848 1849 Memoirs of William Wordsworth , 1851 Commentary on the Whole Bible , 1856–70 1863 Church History , 1881–83 The New Testament... in the Original Greek: With Notes by C.
