[1] Gregg was born at North Cerney, Gloucestershire, England, United Kingdom on 4 July 1873, the son of Rev.Gregg was educated at Bedford School, and at Christ's College, Cambridge,[2] where he was a classical scholar and won the Hulsean Prize Essay competition for 1896 with The Decian Persecution.Following Day's death in 1939, Gregg was again elected Archbishop of Armagh which post he held until his retirement in 1959.[10] He was a supporter of the old Unionist order but encouraged his flock to make their peace with the post-1922 political realities in Ireland.According to R. B. McDowell – "...the Church of Ireland was led (or some would say dominated) by John Allen Fitzgerald Gregg, archbishop successively of Dublin and Armagh, who might fairly be described as an instinctive conservative with, however, an awareness of contemporary trends... Gregg's bearing suggested a prince of the church or at least a prelate of the establishment... he was a scholar and a man of affairs, his administrative flair being reinforced by dignity, decisiveness, and a sardonic wit... His theological sympathies were high church, though he had been brought up an evangelical and had an Anglo-Irish distaste for ceremonial exuberance.
