Robert Wilson Evans (30 August 1789 – 10 March 1866) was an English cleric and author, Archdeacon of Westmorland from 1856 until the year before his death a decade later.
He was educated under Samuel Butler at Shrewsbury School, and proceeded to Trinity College, Cambridge in 1807.
[2] Having obtained a Trinity fellowship in 1813, he was elected classical tutor of the college in the following year, having George Peacock, afterwards Dean of Ely, as his colleague.
In 1836 his former headmaster Samuel Butler, then bishop of Lichfield, made him his examining chaplain, and collated him to the vicarage of Tarvin, Cheshire.
One of his first acts was to build a new vicarage house on the shoulders of Heversham Head, a spot from which he commanded a most extensive view.
