Richard Randall (priest)

Richard William Randall (13 April 1824 – 23 December 1906) was an Anglican priest in the second half of the 19th century and the early part of the 20th.

[1] Richard Randall was first educated at Winchester College, from there he matriculated on 12 May 1842, aged 18 and studied at Christ Church, Oxford.

The principal service on Sunday morning was a Choral Eucharist, presented with all the dignity and solemnity that was possible, but always within the statutes of the Church of England, and the desires of the Bishop.

[8] He found it difficult fitting in with chapter life and when he resigned the deanery in 1901, he wrote to the bishop complaining of the bitter disappointment of these many years.

[5] Also according to the local newspaper he caused great offence by not standing during Handel's Hallelujah chorus.
