From the Wikipedia article
Samuel Wilberforce (7 September 1805 – 19 July 1873) was an English bishop in the Church of England, and the third son of William Wilberforce. Wilberforce combined a religious vocation with significant influence in the theological, political, and scientific circles of Victorian Britain. He is regarded as one of the greatest public speakers of his day. A high church cleric, he served successively as Bishop of Oxford (1845–1869) and Bishop of Winchester (1869–1873). He is now best remembered for his opposition to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution at a debate in 1860.
