=John Hinchcliffe= (1769-1794) is an instance of a man, rising from an inferior station to positions of the greatest eminence.  His father was a stable-master in London.  Proceeding from Westminster School to Trinity College, Cambridge, he obtained a Fellowship there.  He afterwards, through a gentleman of wealth to whom he was tutor, secured some very influential friends, and became Head Master of Westminster School, Chaplain to the King, and Master of Trinity.  This last appointment he continued to hold with his bishopric until 1789, when he was made Dean of Durham.  A memoir published at the time of his death describes him as learned, assiduous in his duties, obliging in his manners, and honest and sincere in his religious and political principles.  He died in 1794, and is buried in the cathedral.
