A clergyman-naturalist combined the positions of clergyman and naturalist. In Victorian England, the clergy were reasonably well paid. Positions in the church were generally obtained through family contacts which upper middle class families had. The clergy only had to work one day a week, though some tending of their parishoners was expected, and many spent the rest of their time studying "God's creation". Notable clergyman-naturalists include John Stevens Henslow, William Darwin Fox, Henry Hugh Higgins, William Weekes Fowler and Gilbert White.
