Richard Durnford (1766 \u2013 1835) and his wife Louisa Mount (1781 &#8211; 1864). He was baptised on 12\/08\/1803 in Chilbolton, Hampshire.<\/p>\n<p>He was educated at Eton and Magdalen College, Oxford, where he was <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikisource.org\/wiki\/Dictionary_of_National_Biography,_1901_supplement\/Durnford,_Richard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ordained deacon in 1830 and ordained priest in 1831<\/a>. In 1840 he married Emma Keate (1812 &#8211; 1844), the daughter of his old Eton headmaster. With her he had a daughter, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wikitree.com\/wiki\/Durnford-9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tammy Lowesa Durnford<\/a>, and two sons, Richard Durnford Jr. and Sir Walter Durnford.<\/p>\n<p>In 1867 he became Archdeacon of Manchester, and in 1868 \u2018canon residuary\u2019 at Manchester Cathedral.

In the same cathedral an alabaster recumbent effigy, which was erected to his memory, was unveiled three years later. Durnford House at Brighton College is named after him.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6776&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>IN PIAM MEMORIAM RICARDI DURNFORD STP EPISCOPI CICESTRENSIS QUI ANNOS AMPLIUS XXV PAVIT SUOS IN INNOCENTIA CORDIS SUI<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The English translation would read:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>In the respectful memory of Richard Durnford, STP, Bishop of Chichester, who for more than 25 years fed his flock (literal translation: \u2018the ones belonging to him&#8217;) in the innocence of his heart.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;40px&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/stpetersbrighton.org\/heritage\/memorial-plaque-for-john-hannah\/\"><strong>\u2190 previous memorial plaque<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0<strong>&#8211;<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/stpetersbrighton.org\/heritage\/memorial-plaque-for-william-robinson\/\"><strong>next memorial plaque \u2192<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/stpetersbrighton.org\/heritage\/floor-plan-for-memorial-plaques\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Floor plan of memorial plaques in St. Peter&#8217;s Church Brighton<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Memorial Plaque in Latin with English translation for Richard Durnford, born in Berkshire, Bishop of Chichester.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":82,"featured_media":6776,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[62],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6774","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-memorial-plaques"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
