Harrington Clare Lees (17 March 1870 – 10 January 1929) was the Anglican Archbishop of Melbourne from 1921 until his death.
[3] Lees was made deacon on Trinity Sunday (28 May) 1893[4] and ordained priest the following Trinity Sunday (20 May 1894) — both times by William Stubbs, Bishop of Oxford, at St Mary Magdalen's Church, Oxford.
In August 1921 he was appointed Archbishop of Melbourne; was consecrated a bishop on All Saints' Day (1 November) by Randall Davidson, Archbishop of Canterbury, at St Paul's Cathedral, London;[6] and enthroned at St Paul's Cathedral, Melbourne, on 15 February 1922.
[citation needed] Lees never spared himself and overwork was a contributing cause of his comparatively early death from coronary vascular disease.
In the evangelistic tradition of the diocese, he belonged to no party and his ability, humanity and broad outlook, made him an excellent leader of his church.
