Richard Darby - Bishop of Sherwood

It was this time in captivity that convinced him to become a priest, and following his release he studied at Durham University for four years before being ordained in 1950 in the Chelmsford diocese.

He served in several south of England parishes before moving to the Southwell diocese in Nottinghamshire in 1975 where he was consecrated as bishop.

He retired in 1990 and moved to Claypole, just over the county border in Lincolnshire.

He died in december 1993 aged 74, a memorial service being held at Southwell Minster in March 1994.
