Armitage Robinson

Template:Anglican Portal Joseph Armitage Robinson (1858-1933) was a priest in the Church of England and scholar. He was successively Dean of Westminster (1902-1911) and of Wells (1911- ). He was educated at Liverpool College and Christ's College, Cambridge of which he became a Fellow. It has been suggested that the move to Wells was arranged to avoid friction in the run-up to the coronation of George V.

As Dean of Wells Robinson enjoyed close links with Downside Abbey. He also critically explored the origins of the Glastonbury legends to which the Glastonbury Festival had revived attention.

A renowned scholar in patristics (he was particularly known for his work on the Lausiac History), Armitage Robinson was a participant in the bilateral Anglican-Roman Catholic Malines Conversations. He held honorary doctorates from Gottingen and Halle.
