The Earl-Bishop

He was educated at Westminster School and Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, graduating in 1754. Entering the church he became a royal chaplain; and while waiting for other preferment spent some time in Italy, whither he was led by his great interest in art. In February 1767, while his brother, the 2nd Earl of Bristol, was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, he was made Bishop of Cloyne, and having improved the property of the see he was translated to the rich Bishopric of Derry a year later.

As a bishop, Hervey was industrious and vigilant; he favoured complete religious equality, and was opposed to the system of tithes.

Varying estimates have been found of his character, including favorable ones by John Wesley and Jeremy Bentham. He was undoubtedly clever and cultured, but licentious and eccentric. In later life he openly professed materialistic opinions; he fell in love with the countess Lichtenau, mistress of Frederick William II of Prussia; and by his bearing he gave fresh point to the saying that God created men, women and Herveys. In 1752 he had married Elizabeth (d. 1800), daughter of Sir Jermyn Davers, 4th Baronet, by whom he had two sons and three daughters (of whom the best-known is Lady Elizabeth Hervey, who married secondly her long-time lover the Duke of Devonshire).
