Ralph Brideoake (1612/13–1678) was an English clergyman, who became Bishop of Chichester.

Life

[edit]

Born in Cheetham Hill, Manchester, and baptised on 31 January 1612 (NS 1613)[1] at the Collegiate Church, Manchester, Brideoake graduated from Brasenose College, Oxford with a BA in 1634, and made a MAbyCharles I of England in 1636. During the 1630s, Brideoake attempted to write poetry.

Beginning in 1638, Brideoake was High Master at Manchester Free School,[2] but lost the position because of his Royalist affiliation. He became chaplain to James Stanley, 7th Earl of Derby, a Royalist leader, and was besieged at Lathom House (near Ormskirk, Lancashire) with Stanley's family in 1644.[3] He interceded, unsuccessfully, with William Lenthall, Speaker of Parliament, for a stay of the execution of the captured Earl, in 1651.[4] Brideoake then became chaplain to Lenthall.

Brideoake was VicarofWitney[5] from 1654.[6] On the Restoration, he became RectorofStandish in 1660, Dean of Salisbury in 1667,[7] and Bishop of Chichester in 1675.[8] During this time he had some connection with the almshouses at Heytesbury, within Salisbury diocese, for he bought a mill at Chirton on behalf of the charity in 1671.[9]

In 1660 he was appointed Canon of the eleventh stallatSt George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, a position he held until 1678.[10] He died on 5 October 1678 and is buried in St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. His monument was sculpted by William BirdofOxford.[11]
