Thomas Price (bishop)

Thomas Price (1599–1685) was the Church of Ireland's Archbishop of Cashel.

Price was born in Wales[1] or possibly London, and educated at Trinity College, Dublin, where he graduated B.A.

He was consecrated bishop of Kildare in Christ Church, Dublin, on 10 March 1661 by the Archbishop of Dublin James Margetson, and was translated to the archbishopric of Cashel on 20 May 1667.

[2] Price followed Bedell on the importance of making the Irish language significant in the established church; he ordained some Irish-speaking ministers, and in 1678 he required service to be read in his cathedral from a folio Gaedhilic prayer-book presented to him by Andrew Sall.

[2] Price died at Cashel on 4 August 1685.
