The Rt Rev John Hugh Granville Randolph, DD (20 January 1866[1] - 21 March 1936) was the Suffragan Bishop of Guildford[2] and then Dean of Salisbury[3] in the Church of England in the first decades of the 20th century.[4]

Randolph was born into an ecclesiastical family: his father was a clergyman, The Rev Leveson Cyril Randolph. Educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge,[5][6] he was ordained into the priesthood in 1890.[7] His first post was a curacy in Margate, after which he was Vicar of All Saints’, Westbrook,[8] then St Mark’s, North End,[9] before his elevation to the Episcopate.[10] He died on 21 March 1936.[11]
