Richard Rawlins

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Richard Rawlins was Bishop of St. David's between the years 1523 and 1536. He had previously been Warden of Merton College, Oxford, where he was known for selling land designated for the completion of a cruciform chapel for the establishment of Corpus Christi College (as a result the chapel remains T- shaped and set an example for the shape of subsequent college chapels). He was also a Fellow of Merton college and a prebendary of St. Paul's Cathedral.
