John Richard Darley DD (1799 – 1884), a "man who laboured strenuously to awaken and sustain the practical interest of the clergy and laity"[1], was a 19th century Irish Anglican Bishop [2].
Born in County Monaghan and educated at the Royal School Dungannon and Trinity College, Dublin, he was later Headmaster of his old school[3]. Ordained in 1826 he was the Rector of Drumgoon and Archdeacon of Ardagh before elevation to the Episcopate[4] as the 6th Bishop of the United Diocese of Kilmore, Elphin and Ardagh. In 1859, Darley both built and financed the running of a school at Cootehill, Co. Cavan. Today, this school is known as the Darley National School. [5]Religious titles Preceded by
