Joshua Hughes-Games born Joshua Jones was an Anglican priest, the Archdeacon of Man from 1886 until 1894. Born in 1831, he changed his name to 'Hughes-Games' to receive an inheritance, and was educated at Lincoln College, Oxford, graduating first class in Mathematics in 1852. He was ordained a deacon in 1854, and a priest in 1855 (by John Graham, Bishop of Chester). Following periods as curate at Doddleston in Cheshire and Holy Trinity, Manchester, Hughes-Games was vice-principal of York Training College from 1859 to 1861 then headmaster of the Liverpool Institute until 1865. He was principal of King William's College in the Isle of Man for the twenty years (1866–1886); and archdeacon of the island from then until 1894 when he became vicar of Holy Trinity, Hull.
