John Jebb
Edit ProfileEducation
He was educated at Winchester College and Trinity College, Dublin.
Career
After graduating Master of Arts in 1829, Jebb briefly held the rectory of Dunerlin in Ireland before becoming a prebendary of Limerick Cathedral (1832), rector of Peterstow, Herefordshire (1843), a prebendary of Hereford Cathedral (1858) and a canon residentiary (1870). Jebb married Frances, daughter of General Sir Richard Bourke, in September 1831 (she died 1866). Jebb was a leading authority on the Anglican choral tradition and a significant figure in the English choral revival.
With his cathedral background Jebb argued that in churches with a choir, the desired musical effect should not be marred by "the roar of the congregation".
He persuaded Hook to adopt the cathedral form of service at Leeds rather than the alternative model demonstrated by the Revd Frederick Oakeley at Margaret Chapel, London, in 1839, where the choir’s role was to lead the congregation in response, hymn and psalm. Jebb"s policy was first made public in Three Lectures on the Cathedral Service (1841).
He funded the building costs of the new rectory at Peterstow. Street Peter"s Church at Peterstow was restored in the 1860s under Jebb with Sir George Gilbert Scott as architect.
The reopening was on 2 July 1866.
