MARRIOTT,  Charles  (1811-58),  divine,  en-
tered Exeter  College,  Oxford,  March  1829,
but  became  scholar  of  Balliol  in  November
1832 ;  he  won  a  First  Class  in  Classics  and
Second  Class  in  Mathematics.  Easter,  1833,
he  was  elected  Fellow  of  Oriel  (with  Rogers,
later  Lord  Blachford),  succeeding  R.  I.
Wilberforce  (q.v.).  He  was  ordained,  and,
1838,  left  Oxford  to  become  first  Principal
of  the  Theological  College,  Chichester,  where
he  began  work,  February  1839,  but  resigned,
1841,  and  returned  to  Oriel.  He  had  col-
laborated with  Manning  (q.v.)  in  compiling
No.  78  of  the  Tracts  for  the  Times,  1837,  and
was  a  close  friend  of  Newman,  Pusey,  and
Keble  (q.v.).  He  became  one  of  the  foremost
men  of  the  Oxford  Movement  (q.v.),  and  on
Newman's  secession,  which  was  a  heavy  blow
to  him,  he  did  much  to  strengthen  waverers.

He  was  associated  after  1845  with  Keble
and  Pusey  as  joint  editor  of  the  Library  of  the
Fathers,  but  the  real  burden  of  the  work  fell
on  Marriott.  In  1850  he  became  Vioar  of
St.  Mary's.  Many  who  were  drawn  to  Rome
or  unbelief  turned  to  him  for  help.  To  his
rooms  came  most  foreign  ecclesiastics  of
distinction  who  visited  Oxford,  learned
Benedictines,  American  and  colonial  bishops.
When  cholera  broke  out  at  Oxford,  1854,
Marriott  was  constant  in  visiting  the  sick.hear-
ing  their  confessions,  and  ministering  to  them.
