Frederick Temple (1821 - 1902) was an English academic, teacher, educational reformer and somewhat controversial churchman. He was ordained in 1846, and accepted the seat of Canterbury half a century later.
Temple was considered to personify, by his rugged appearance and terse manner as a schoolmaster and bishop, the ideal of "manliness" fashionable during the Victorian era in Britain.
