Garbett was born in [[Hereford]] on 10 December 1817, being the sixth son of the [[Reverend|Rev]]. James Garbett (1775–1857), custos and prebendary of the [[cathedral]]. He was educated at Hereford Cathedral School, whence he proceeded to Brasenose College, Oxford (19 May 1837). He proceeded B.A. in 1841, coming out with second-class honours ‘in litt. human.,’ and M.A. in 1847.


In his early years he had wished to become a doctor, but later showed a preference for the work of the ministry. Garbett was accordingly ordained deacon by the Bishop of Hereford in 1841 and licensed to the curacy of Upton Bishop, of which his father was then vicar. In the following year he removed to Birmingham as curate of St. George's, under his cousin, the Rev. John Garbett. At Birmingham he obtained his first preferment, the vicarage of St. Stephen's. An opportunity of removing to London was accepted, and in 1854 Garbett became perpetual curate of St. Bartholomew's, Gray's Inn Road. He had already shown some capacity for journalistic work, and was in the same year appointed to the editorship of the ‘Record,’ a position he filled with marked ability until his resignation in 1867. During this period there were few subjects of ecclesiastical importance upon which he did not write with force and discernment.

In 1860 he accepted the [[Boyle Lectures]]hip on the nomination of [[Archibald Tait|Bishop Tait]], and in 1861 was appointed a select preacher at Oxford. In 1863 he moved to Christ Church, [[Surbiton]], and in 1867 was appointed [[Bampton Lectures|Bampton Lecturer]] at Oxford.


Garbett became editor of ''The Christian Advocate and Review''.
He was for some time also editor of the ‘Christian Advocate.’ But journalism did not disqualify him for successful work either in the pulpit or the parish. In 1860 he accepted the Boyle [[lecture]]ship on the nomination of Bishop Tait, and in 1861 was appointed a select [[preacher]] at Oxford. In 1863 came a removal to the living of Christ Church, Surbiton, and in 1867 his appointment as Bampton lecturer at Oxford. In the same year he resigned the editorship of the ‘Record,’ but continued for some time to write with more or less regularity in its columns. In 1875 Garbett was appointed an honorary canon of Winchester, and in 1877 he accepted from the lord chancellor the living of Barcombe, Lewes.

He had previously declined invitations to succeed Dr. Miller at St. Martin's, Birmingham, and to fill the fashionable [[pulpit]] of St. Paul's, Onslow Square, London. During the earlier gatherings of the Church Congress Garbett's aid was often asked. He read a paper at York in 1866, and again at the meetings of 1869, 1870, 1871, 1872, 1873, 1874, and 1879. Garbett's health was much broken by his work at Barcombe, and on 11 Oct. 1886 he was stricken with paralysis.

He never recovered, but the end was deferred until 11 Oct. 1887. In his ecclesiastical views Garbett moved with the evangelical party, whose cause he championed with unfailing vigour.
