What you said is interesting - especially in the sense that he seems to have had such an archetypal Victorian background, and in a sense that Victorian archetype was perhaps starting to decline during his time as Bishop. His comments about women going back to their 'quieter paths' perhaps reflects that in a small way. I'd like to do some more research on Bishop Ridgeway at some stage - I didn't find out as much about him as I would have liked. Thanks again Matt Many thanks for your comments.

I’d like to do some more research on Bishop Ridgeway at some stage – I didn’t find out as much about him as I would have liked.

I do happen to know quite a lot about him because his grandparents, parents and sisters are all buried in Woodbury Park Cemetery in TunbridgeWells and the Friends of WPC have done a little research on their lives as part of a dossier we are building up about the Tunbridge Wells Victorians buried in WPC. . One of his brothers was Bishop of Chichester and another was Sir Joseph West Ridgeway who did all sorts of statesmanlike deeds after having gone off to make his fortune in India aged 16. They were the bright offspring of a hard working clergyman in Tunbridge Wells who besides diligently caring for his local flock was a very active evangelical and among other things ran the publications of the Church Missionary Society. He is said to have worked himself to death. His newly ordained his son Frederick nursed him through his last illness, having just arrived to be his father's curate, like 2 of his brothers before him . There is a biography of him by his domestic chaplain Ernest Cross of which I have a copy. I was pleased to see these anecdotes.
