The Henson Journals

Richard Dutton Budworth

Richard Budworth (1867-1937; WWW), ord. 1902; headmaster, Durham School, 1907-32; presided over the School's expansion and largely funded the memorial chapel; chaplain to the bishop of Durham, 1920; vicar of Horspath, Oxfordshire, 1932-37. While recognising his 'personal force of exceptional quality', Henson also recalled his defects, including a loyalty to his colleagues that 'led him sometimes to be unduly tolerant of inefficiency': Retrospect, I, 150.
