Frederick Cornwallis (Londra, 5 marzo 1713 – Lambeth, 19 marzo 1783) è stato un arcivescovo anglicano e teologo inglese. Fu fratello gemello del generale britannico Edward Cornwallis.

Biografia

Cornwallis nacque a Londra, in Inghilterra,[1] settimo figlio di Charles Cornwallis, IV Barone Cornwallis. Venne educato all'Eton College e si laureò poi al Christ's College di Cambridge.[2] Nel 1742 venne ordinato sacerdote e divenne dottore in teologia nel 1748.

Cornwallis fu in grado di ascendere rapidamente nei ranghi della chiesa per via dei suoi stretti legami con l'aristocrazia, e nel 1746 venne nominato cappellano di re Giorgio II e canonico a Windsor. Nel 1750 divenne canonico della Cattedrale di St Paul a Londra e più tardi in quello stesso anno divenne vescovo di Lichfield e Coventry grazie all'interessamento di Thomas Pelham-Holles, I duca di Newcastle, poi Segretario di Stato. Egli fu anche Decano di Windsor (1765–1768) e Decano di St Paul (1766–1768).

Alla morte di Thomas Secker nel 1768, la sua amicizia con l'allora primo ministro, il Duca di Grafton, gli portò l'elevazione ad Arcivescovo di Canterbury. Come arcivescovo, egli divenne noto nella società dell'epoca. Strenuo sostenitore del governo di Lord North, fece ogni sforzo per sostenere il clero anglicano durante la Rivoluzione americana che privò molti sacerdoti nativi inglesi dei loro possedimenti e delle loro chiese. Come amministratore della sua arcidiocesi, venne giudicato anche dai contemporanei come uomo molto competente, capo ispirato al latitudinarianismo.

Alla sua morte venne sepolto nella St. Mary's Church, Lambeth.[3]

Suo nipote fu Charles Cornwallis, I marchese Cornwallis, generale britannico durante la Rivoluzione americana e poi Governatore generale dell'India.
