SUMNER, CHARLES RICHARD (1790-1874) , English
bishop
 , was born at Kenilworth on the 22nd of November 1790, and was educated at
Eton
  and at Trinity College,
Cambridge
 . He graduated B.A. in 1814, M.A. in 1817, and was ordained deacon
and priest. In the two winters of 1814-1816 he ministered to the English
congregation
  at Geneva, and from 1816 to 1821 was curate of Highclere,
Hampshire
 . In 182o George IV. wished to appoint him canon of Windsor, but the prime minister, Lord Liverpool, objected; Sumner received instead a royal chaplaincy and librarianship, and other preferments quickly followed, till in 1826 he was consecrated
bishop
  of
Llandaff
  and in 1827 bishop of Winchester. In his
long
  administration of his latter diocese he was most energetic, tactful and munificent. Though evangelical in his views he by no means confined his patronage to that school. In 1869 he resigned his see, but continued to live at the official residence at
Farnham
  until his death on the 15th of August 1874. He published a number of charges and sermons, and The Ministerial Character of Christ Practically Considered (London, 1824). He also edited and translated John Milton's De doctrina christiana, which was found in the State
Paper
  office in 1823, and formed the text of Macaulay's famous essay on Milton.
See the Life, by his son, G. H. Sumner (1876).
