Richard Hutchins


Richard Hutchins D.D., a minister of the Church of England, was Hervey's tutor, and a very faithful member of the Oxford Methodist Society. He graduated B.A. at Lincoln College, Oxford in 1820. He became a Fellow of the college on 8 December 1720, subrector on 6 November 1739, bursar and librarian on 6 November 1742, and rector on 9 July 1755. He died on 10 August 1781. His only publication is a Latin sermon,
Elucidatio Sexti Capitis Evangelii Secundum Johannem. "In more respects than one Dr. Hutchins continued an Oxford Methodist long after all his old friends had been dispersed."
