Shute Barrington
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shute Barrington (26 May 1734 – 25 March 1826) was Bishop of Llandaff in South Wales, as well as Bishop of Salisbury and Bishop of Durham in England.
Shute was born at Beckett Hall in Shrivenham in Berkshire (now Oxfordshire), the home of his father, John Shute Barrington, 1st Viscount Barrington. He was educated at Eton College and Merton College, Oxford, and after holding some minor dignities was made Bishop of Llandaff in 1769. In 1782 he was translated to Salisbury and in 1791 to Durham. He was a vigorous Protestant, though willing to grant Roman Catholics "every degree of toleration short of political power and establishment." He published several volumes of sermons and tracts, and wrote the political life of his elder brother, William Wildman Shute Barrington. He married, firstly in 1761, Lady Diana daughter of Charles Beauclerk, 2nd Duke of St Albans, and secondly, in 1770, Jane daughter of Sir John Guise, but had no children. He died in Soho in Middlesex (now Greater London). He is buried at Mongewell Church, near his home at Mongewell Park, close to Wallingford, Oxfordshire.
