Sacerdote, educatore e storico, Mann dedicò la sua attività intellettuale al papato medievale, emergendo come lo storico inglese preminente in questo campo nel XX secolo. La sua opera principale, Le Vite dei Papi nel (Primo) Medioevo, è uno studio monumentale che esamina i pontificati da Gregorio I a Benedetto XI. Sebbene il suo lavoro rimanga prezioso, la ricerca successiva lo ha ampiamente superato, non diminuendo però il suo significato pionieristico per la comprensione della storia ecclesiastica medievale.
