This paper had its origin in an excursus to the dissertation offered in part requirement for the University of Wales LLM degree in Ecclesiastical and Canon Law. Like all work on Colenso, it is indebted to the magisterial investigations of the late Peter Hinchliff, in whose biography of Colenso will be found an extensive bibliography to 1964. Later sources are itemised in this paper.
