G+.**George Ridding (March 16, 1828 August 30, 1904) was an English headmaster of Winchester College and first Bishop of Southwell.During the tenure of this office (1867 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. There is a statue of him in Southwell Minster. 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.(wiki). N° de ref. del artículo 41359
