Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RHY-RON
RIDDING, GEORGE (1828-1904) , English headmaster and bishop, was born at Winchester College, of which his father, the Rev. Charles
Ridding
 ,
vicar
  of Andover, was a fellow, on the 16th of . March 1828. He was educated at Winchester and at Balliol College, Oxford. He became a fellow of Exeter College and was' a tutor' from 1853 to 1863. In 1853 he married Mary Louisa Moberly, who died within a year of her
marriage
 . He was appointed second master of Winchester College in 1863, and on the retirement of his father-in-law, Dr Moberly, he succeeded to the headmastership. During the
tenure
  of this office (186.7-1884) he carried out successfully a
series
  of radical reforms in the organization of the school, resulting in a
great
  increase both in its reputation and numbers. In 1884 he became the first bishop of Southwell, and brought his powers of organization and conspicuous tact and moderation to
bear
  on the management of the new diocese. He took an active share in its educational and social
work
 , and was materially assisted in these respects by his second wife, Lady Laura Palmer, daughter of the 1st
earl
  of Selborne. He resigned his see a short time before his death, which took place on the 3oth of August 1904.
