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.[3][4]

Early life

Young was educated at King Edward VI Grammar School, Chelmsford.[5] He then studied at St John's College, Durham and graduated in 1970 with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree.[6][7] He then entered Ridley Hall, Cambridge, an Anglican theological college, to prepare for ordination.[6]

Ordained ministry

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 to 2013, 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.[6]

He was a member of the Hymn Society of Great Britain and Ireland, acting as its conference chaplain in 2001.[8]

Personal life

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