In 1816 he graduated as fourth wrangler, and was bracketed with <a href="/w/index.php?title=Marmaduke_Lawson&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Marmaduke Lawson (page does not exist)">Marmaduke Lawson</a> as chancellor's medallist, proceeding B.A. 1816, M.A. 1819, B.D. 1829, and D.D. by royal mandate in 1831.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He was elected a fellow and tutor of his college in 1816, and on the resignation of Dr. <a href="/wiki/John_Kaye_(bishop)" title="John Kaye (bishop)">John Kaye</a> in 1830 was chosen Master of Christ's College. </p><p>In 1828 he was collated to the prebend of Sanctæ Crucis in <a href="/wiki/Lincoln_Cathedral" title="Lincoln Cathedral">Lincoln Cathedral</a>, and six years afterwards to the prebend of <a href="/wiki/Leighton_Ecclesia" class="mw-redirect" title="Leighton Ecclesia">Leighton Ecclesia</a> in the same diocese. He served twice as <a href="/wiki/Vice-Chancellor_of_Cambridge_University" class="mw-redirect" title="Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge University">vice-chancellor of the university</a> — in 1831, and again in 1840. It was in the latter year that he admitted <a href="/wiki/John_Copley,_1st_Baron_Lyndhurst" title="John Copley, 1st Baron Lyndhurst">Lord Lyndhurst</a> to the office of high steward of the university, and his speech on that occasion is printed in <a href="/wiki/Charles_Henry_Cooper" title="Charles Henry Cooper">Cooper</a>'s <i>Annals of Cambridge</i><sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Ordained in 1818, he became rector of <a href="/wiki/Willingham,_Cambridgeshire" title="Willingham, Cambridgeshire">Willingham, Cambridgeshire</a> in 1843. He was nominated chaplain to <a href="/wiki/Albert,_Prince_Consort" class="mw-redirect" title="Albert, Prince Consort">Prince Albert</a> on 26 Jan. 1841, and in the contest for the chancellorship of Cambridge University, 27 Feb. 1847, he acted as chairman of the prince's committee. In 1848, on the translation of <a href="/wiki/John_Bird_Sumner" title="John Bird Sumner">John Bird Sumner</a> to the see of Canterbury, Graham received the vacant <a href="/wiki/Bishop_of_Chester" title="Bishop of Chester">bishopric of Chester</a>. His consecration took place in the <a href="/wiki/Chapel_Royal,_Whitehall" class="mw-redirect" title="Chapel Royal, Whitehall">Chapel Royal, Whitehall</a>, on 14 May 1848, and on 16 June he was installed in <a href="/wiki/Chester_Cathedral" title="Chester Cathedral">Chester Cathedral</a>. On the occasion of his leaving Cambridge the mayor and council of the town tendered him an address of congratulation on his appointment, the only instance in which a tribute of the kind had ever been offered by that body. The bishop was a liberal in politics, but seldom spoke or voted in the House of Lords. He was a member of the Oxford and Cambridge universities commission, and took an active part in its proceedings. His manner of life was simple. His leading idea was to preserve peace in the diocese; he could, however, be firm when occasion required. His conciliatory manner was extended to the dissenters of Chester. He thus gave some offence to the high church party. </p><p>On 25 Sept. 1849 he was appointed <a href="/wiki/Clerk_of_the_Closet" title="Clerk of the Closet">Clerk of the Closet</a> to the queen, an appointment which he held to his death. He enjoyed the friendship of the prince consort and the respect of the queen. He died at the Palace, Chester, 15 June 1865, and was buried in Chester cemetery 20 June. In 1833 he married Mary, daughter of the Rev. Robert Porteous, by whom he had eight children, the eldest being the Rev. John Graham (1834–1873), registrar of the <a href="/wiki/Diocese_of_Chester" title="Diocese of Chester">diocese of Chester</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2
