Edward Cowell Brice (January 1, 1795 – May 29, 1881) was baptized on January 1, 1795, in Winterbourne, Gloucestershire, the son of Edward Brice, a merchant of Frenchay near Bristol. He entered St John’s College, Cambridge, as a pensioner on May 24, 1817, and matriculated in the Michaelmas term of that year, ultimately graduating with a BA in 1821. He was a member of the Cambridge Apostles. He was also the older brother of Henry Crane Brice, who likewise became a clergyman and a member of the Cambridge Apostles.
Committed to the church, Brice was ordained as a deacon by Bristol on March 17, 1821, and as a priest later that year on September 16. His early ministry included serving as curate of Abbotsleigh near Bristol and holding the appointment of chaplain to the Mayor of Bristol from 1824 to 1825. In 1847, he was appointed perpetual curate of Newnham in Gloucestershire, a position he retained for over three decades until his death. Brice passed away on May 29, 1881, at the age of 86.
