Richard Durnford
Bishop Durnford
The Rt Rev Richard Durnford (3 November 1802 – 14 October 1895) was the Bishop of Chichester from 1870[1] to 1895.[2]
He was born in Newbury, Berkshire, into an ecclesiastical family (his father was also named Rev. Richard Dunford).[3] He was educated at Eton and Magdalen College, Oxford,[4] and ordained in 1831. From 1833 he was Rector of Middleton, Lancashire, and then its Rural Dean.
In 1840 he married Emma, the daughter of his old Eton headmaster, John Keate. In 1867 he became Archdeacon of Manchester and in the following year Canon Residentiary at Manchester Cathedral. In 1870 he was elevated to the Episcopate of Chichester.
He died in Basel.
Durnford House at Brighton College was named after him. The Durnford House at Eton is named after his brother, Francis Edward Durnford, who taught there from 1839-1877.
