Parnell was born in Ireland to a Cheshire family, of Commonwealth sympathies, who had repaired to the Emerald Isle following the Restoraton. Inheriting his father's estates, he studied at Cambridge and later became Archbishop of Cloghar. His frequent visits to England brought him into the circle of Swift, Pope, Addison and Steele, and he was a member of the Scriblerus Club. He wrote essays and poems, the most famous of which is 'The Hermit'. Travelling from England to Ireland, Parnell was taken ill and died at Chester. His poetry was an influence on Oliver Goldsmith and Thomas Gray.
