William Henry Ridley (1816–1882) was a priest in the Church of England and an author.

Life

Ridley, born on 2 April 1816, was eldest son of Henry Colborne Ridley (1780–1832), rector of Hambledon, near Henley-on-Thames, a descendant of the Ridleys of Willimoteswick. His mother was Mary, daughter of James Ferrier of Lincoln's Inn Fields. He matriculated from Christ Church, Oxford, on 15 May, 1834, was a student 1836–41, and graduated B.A. in 1838, and M.A. in 1840.cite web | last =Boase | first =G.

He succeeded to the family living of Hambledon on 25 July, 1840, and continued there until his death. In 1859 he became rural dean of Wycombe, and in 1871 an honorary canon of Christ Church, Oxford.

He died at Brighton on 17 February 1882, having married, on 25 Aug. 1841, Sophia Albertina, second daughter of Charles Richard Sumner, bishop of Winchester; by her, who died on 1 July, 1884, he had an only son, Henry Colborne Mannoir Ridley.

Publications

Ridley was a voluminous writer of theological literature, but many of his publications are only single sermons and tracts. The latter include two ‘Plain Tracts on Confirmation’ (1844 and 1862), which had a wide circulation. His chief works are:
*"The Holy Communion," parts i. and ii. 1854; 3rd edit. 1860.
*"What can we do for our Soldiers in the East?" 1854.
*"Clerical Incomes and Clerical Taxation; Dr. Phillimore's Bill for the Assessment of Tithe Commutation Rent Charges," 1856.
*"What can we do for our Fellow Subjects in India?" 1857.
