Rev. Theodore Rivington

The Reverend Theodore Rivington was vicar of Eaton from 1897 to 1904. Rev Rivington was born in Upper Tooting Surrey in 1852 and studied at Clare's College Cambridge from 1870. He held a number of curacies across Essex, Norfolk and Oxfordshire before his first role as vicar in Aston-Rowant in Oxfordshire. He was married to Harriet Elizabeth Skikelthorp but they had no children. He is noteable in his great interest in local history and during his time at Eaton he spent considerable time researching and writing about the village's history. These insights were shared in a series of articles as part of his regular parish bulletin. These are compiled in the attached pdf which has some additional notes from Rev John Handbrigde who was vicar of Eaton from 1915 to 1928.
