Clive Young (31 May 1948 – 7 October 2015) was a Church of England bishop. From 1999 to 2013, he was the Anglican Bishop of Dunwich, a suffragan bishop in the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich.[2][3]

Early life

[edit]

Young was educated at King Edward VI Grammar School, Chelmsford.[4] He then studied at St John's College, Durham and graduated in 1970 with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree.[3][5] He then entered Ridley Hall, Cambridge, an Anglican theological college, to prepare for ordination.[3]

Ordained ministry

[edit]

Young was ordained a deacon in 1972 and began his career with a curacy at Neasden (1972-1975), followed by a second curacy at St Paul's Hammersmith (1975-1979). He was then Priest in charge of Old Ford, London, latterly also Area Dean of Tower Hamlets; and then Vicar of St Andrew, Holborn and Archdeacon of Hackney.

In 1999, he was consecrated to the episcopate. From 1999 until his retirement on 12 May 2013,[6] he was the Anglican Bishop of Dunwich, a suffragan bishop in the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich. He then retired from full-time ministry and was appointed an honorary assistant bishop in the Diocese of Hereford.[3]

He was a member of the Hymn Society of Great Britain and Ireland, acting as its conference chaplain in 2001.[7]

Personal life

[edit]

In his spare time he was a keen gardener.[citation needed]

Young died on 7 October 2015.[8] His funeral took place at Dore Abbey in Abbey Dore, Golden Valley, Herefordshire. He is buried in the Abbey's churchyard.[9]
