Excerpt from Essays Henry Ignatius Dudley Ryder was born on 3rd January, 1837. His father, George Dudley Ryder, was at that time a clergyman of the Church of Eng land. His grandfather, Bishop Ryder, after whom he was named Henry, was the first Evangelical to be promoted to the episcopate. He was made Bishop of Gloucester in 1815 amidst a storm of protest on account of his religious views, to which the Government came very near yielding. The hostility of the clergy of his diocese was particularly marked, but it broke down at once before the gentleness and humility of the new bishop. In 1824 he was translated to the See of Lichfield and Coventry. Newman held him in great veneration. He died in 1836. George Ryder married Sophia, daughter of the Rev. John Sargent. The three other Miss Sargents married respectively Samuel Wilberforce, who became bishop first of Oxford and then of Winchester, Henry Wilberforce , and Henry Edward Manning, afterwards Archdeacon of Chichester, and finally Archbishop of Westminster and Cardinal. Fr. Ryder's childhood was passed at his fathers rectory at Easton, near Winchester. This is the home described by him with affectionate remembrance in "The Passion of the Past."
