'''John Hoadly''' (27 September 1678 – 19 July 1746) was an [Anglican](/source/Anglican) [divine](/source/Anglicanism) in the [Church of Ireland](/source/Church_of_Ireland). He served as [Bishop of Ferns and Leighlin](/source/Bishop_of_Ferns_and_Leighlin) (1727 to 1730), as [Archbishop of Dublin](/source/Archbishop_of_Dublin_(Church_of_Ireland)) (1730 to 1742), and as [Archbishop of Armagh](/source/Archbishop_of_Armagh_(Church_of_Ireland)) from 1742 until his death.
==Life==
He was born at [Tottenham](/source/Tottenham), [Middlesex](/source/Middlesex), 27 September 1678, son of [Samuel Hoadly](/source/Samuel_Hoadly) and Martha Pickering, and was a younger brother of [Benjamin Hoadly](/source/Benjamin_Hoadly). He was a member of [St Catharine's Hall, Cambridge](/source/St_Catharine's_College%2C_Cambridge)[{{acad|HDLY678J|Hoadly, John}}] (B.A. 1697), and in September 1700 was appointed under-master of [Norwich grammar school](/source/Norwich_grammar_school), of which his father was headmaster. After passing some years there he became chaplain to Bishop [Gilbert Burnet](/source/Gilbert_Burnet), who gave him the rectory of St. Edmund's, [Salisbury](/source/Salisbury), and made him successively prebendary (21 February 1705–6), archdeacon (6 November 1710), and chancellor (16 April 1713) of Salisbury. The author of a pamphlet ''The Salisbury Quarrel Ended'' of 1710, relating to local conflicts, attributed to Hoadly's influence on the [High Church](/source/High_Church) party's troubles with Burnet. He was also attacked for his friendship with [Thomas Chubb](/source/Thomas_Chubb), whose views were considered to be dangerously unorthodox.[{{cite DNB|wstitle=Hoadly, John (1678-1746)}}]
In 1717 [Lord King](/source/Peter_King%2C_1st_Baron_King), as [chief justice of the common pleas](/source/chief_justice_of_the_common_pleas), presented Hoadly to the rectory of [Ockham, Surrey](/source/Ockham%2C_Surrey); and in 1727 he was consecrated [bishop of Leighlin and Ferns](/source/bishop_of_Leighlin_and_Ferns). The theologian [William Whiston](/source/William_Whiston) protested because he thought Hoadly ignorant. In July 1729 a vacancy occurred in the archbishopric of Dublin, [Hugh Boulter](/source/Hugh_Boulter) wrote to [Sir Robert Walpole](/source/Sir_Robert_Walpole) in support; and Hoadly was translated to Dublin in January 1730. As archbishop of Dublin, he built [the residence of Tallaght](/source/Tallaght_Castle) at a cost of £2,500.[J.G. Simms, “Chief Governors: (B) 1534-1800”, in T.W. Moody, F.X. Martin and F.J. Byrne (eds), ''A New History of Ireland, Vol. IX: Maps, Genealogies, Lists (A Companion to Irish History, Part II)'', page 493.]
Hoadly died at [Rathfarnham](/source/Rathfarnham), 19 July 1746, of a fever.
