According to the family bible, Richard was 'Born at Princes nearSmallshay in Dean, June 28th, 1751, Sunday morning about Elevena'clock'.
It is also stated that 'Richard Ormerod died at Kensington VicarageMay 24th 1816'.Richard was recommended to Bishop Porteus when the latter was Bishopof Chester.
It was as a faithful follower of Bishop Porteus and by his own innateabilities that he eventually became Vicar of Kensington when BishopPorteus had become Bishop of London - the most prestigious bishopricin the country.
Bishop Porteus ordained Richard as both deacon and priest in January1779.
He also recommended Richard as a sizar at St John's College Cambridgeand he was admitted in December 1779 but migrated to Christ's inOctober 1780 and graduated BA in 1784 and MA in 1787.
In 1787 he became College Reader in Hebrew and Rhetorick Lecturer.
He had been ordained in 1779 at Chester.
He had been, presumable non-resident, curate of Ingleton Fells in 1779and became vicar of Kelvedon in Essex from 1788-95.
It would appear that he was the Vicar of Harston, Cambridgeshire,between 1783 and 1788.
When his patron, Bishop Porteus, became Bishop of London in 1787 hemade Richard his domestic chaplain, and from 1789-92 prebendary of StPaul's and from 1791-95 rector of Great Birch, adjacent to Kelvedonand also in Essex.
He probably held this living in conjunction with that of Kelvedonsince he was descibed as 'of Kelvedon' on his marriage certificate on22 June 1792.
From 1795 until his death in 1816 he was vicar of St Mary Abbots,Kensington, given 'as a reward for his piety and worth' and one of themost fashionable and prestigious livings in the country.
He was said to have been 'extremely beloved in Kensington where at hisfuneral 'every shop in the parish was shut and every parishioner whosemeans would allow it appeared in mourning''.The sale of Richard's books after his death in December 1816 relaised£920. This included the Polyglot Bible of 1657 in 6 vols; Sabatier'sancient versions of the Latin Bible of 1751 in 5 vols; the Cambridgeedn of the Codex Bezae of 1793 in 2 vols; Goli's Lexicon Arabicum of1653; Kennicott's Old Testament in Hebrew of 1776 in 2 vols and aGreek New Testament; Shakespeare's Plays and Burton's Anatomy ofMelancholy.
