Nockles, ‘Norris, Henry Handley (1771–1850)’, ODNB. Norris was the leader of a powerful High Church and anti-Evangelical faction within the Church of England known as the ‘Hackney Phalanx’, and had such influence with the prime minister Lord Liverpool that he was known as ‘the Bishop-maker’. It seems likely that it was Norris’s use of these connections that ensured Stansted did not get its charter. Norris’s attack on the London Society, which was vitriolic and ran to 500 pages, was published as The Origins, Progress and Existing Circumstances of the London Society for Promoting Christianity among the Jews (London, 1825). Significantly, the most forthright statement on record that the Duke of Kent withdrew his patronage of the Society because of unease at its proselytising methods comes here, p.93.
