He was born on 14 August 1861,[3] the son of John Gerard Heath Lander of Bishops Offley Manor, Staffordshire, and Sarah, the daughter of Thomas Jones of Tibberton, Shropshire.[4] He was educated at Newport, Shropshire, and at Trinity College, Cambridge.[5] He was made deacon in Advent 1884 (21 December), by J. C. Ryle, Bishop of Liverpool, at St Peter's Pro-Cathedral, Liverpool;[6] and ordained priest in 1885;[7] and initially served as a Curate at St Bride, Liverpool.[8] He then held incumbencies at St Benedict, Everton; St Philip, Litherland;[9] and St Cyprian, Liverpool[10] before being appointed to the episcopate in 1907 as the fifth Bishop of Victoria, Hong Kong[11] a post he held for 13 years. He was consecrated a bishop on St Peter's Day 1907 (29 June), by Randall Davidson, Archbishop of Canterbury, at Lambeth Parish Church.[12] He held the post of Principal of St. Paul's College, Hong Kong from 1906-1909, when he was succeeded by his to be son-in-law, the Rev. Arthur Dudley Stewart. By May 1920, he had "signified his intention of resigning his see [that] year";[13] he must have done so before his successor's consecration on 24 June.[14] On his return to England he was Vicar of Holy Trinity, New Barnet (until 1933); Archdeacon of Bedford (1933 onwards); and an Assistant Bishop of St Albans (1924[15] onwards). He died on 14 November 1934,[16] collapsing suddenly at King's Cross Station.[17]
