[1] Huddesford was baptised at St Mary Magdalen's Church, Oxford, on 15 August 1732.
His younger brother, also George Huddesford, was a painter and satirical poet.
After Abingdon he was elected a scholar at Trinity College in 1750, completing a BA (1753), MA (1756) and earned his B.D.
These ended up at the University Museum and they inspired Lewis Carroll to include a dodo in the opening chapters of Alice in Wonderland.
[1] Huddesford had been ordained in 1758 and served as curate at Garsington before he was made the vicar of Bishop's Tachbrook in Warwickshire in 1761.
