Isaac Mann (December 1710 – 10 December 1788) was Church of Ireland Bishop of Cork and Ross from 1772 to 1788. [1]

Mann was born in Norwich in 1710 and was brought to Ireland as a child, being supported by Lord Chancellor of Ireland Robert Jocelyn, 1st Viscount Jocelyn. He served as Jocelyn's household chaplain for several years. It was a standing joke in Dublin that Mann was frequently mistaken for Jocelyn, since Mann had far more of the grand manner than Jocelyn, who was notably modest and unassuming. [2]

Mann was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, obtaining a scholarship in 1730. [3] He was Archdeacon of Dublin [4] from 1757 until his elevation to the episcopate. [5]

Mann died in Bath, Somerset in 1788. He was buried in Ballinaspic, then his remains were transferred to Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral in 1861. [6]

He had no children of his own but adopted his nieces Frances and Susannah Mann. Frances married Christopher Townshend, and Susannah married the Venerable Joseph Weld, Archdeacon of Ross.
