Summary
Print, engraving, Cardinal John Henry Newman (1801-1890) (after Sir William Charles Ross) by Richard Woodman (London 1784 - London 1859). Newman was a great influence on Thomas Dyke Acland XI at Oxford but TDA X also respected Newman until his conversion to Rome. Newman was born in the City of London, the eldest of a family of three sons and three daughters. His father, John Newman, was a banker with Ramsbottom, Newman and Company in Lombard Street. His mother, Jemima (née Fourdrinier), was descended from French Huguenot refugees in England. He was received into the Roman Catholic Church on 9 October 1845.
