History
Francis Close (July 11, 1797 – December 18,1882) was the Anglican Rector of Cheltenham (1826–1856), and Dean of Carlisle from 1856–1881. He received his Bachelor of Arts from St. John's College, Cambridge in 1820, and was elevated to MA in 1825. During the same time period, he was ordained a deacon in 1820, and as a priest the following year. In 1822 he was assigned as curate of Willesden and Kingsbury in the London area. In 1824, he was assigned to Cheltenham and the parish church of St Mary's, and when the rector died in 1826, he was elevated to that office.
