Frank Selwyn Macaulay Bennett (28 October 1866 – 14 November 1947) was an Anglican cleric and scholar. He was a reforming dean of Chester[1] in the first half of the 20th century.[2][3]

He was born in Torquay, Devon, the son of Henry Edward Bennett of Sparkford Hall, Somerset, and the Canadian-born Louisa Birchall Macaulay, daughter of Sir James Buchanan Macaulay, Chief Justice of Toronto.[4][5] He was educated at Sherborne and Keble College, Oxford.[6] He was private chaplain to Bishop Jayne of Chester and then held incumbencies at Portwood and Hawarden[7] before his elevation to the deanery.[8] He was eulogised as the man who made Chester Cathedral "the home of the Diocese".[9]
