Augustus Duncombe (2 November 1814 – 26 January 1880) was Dean of York from 1858[1] until his death.[2]
Biography
Duncombe was born the seventh child and fifth son of Charles Duncombe, 1st Baron Feversham, and educated at Worcester College, Oxford.[3] He was Rector of Kirby Misperton, then Prebendary of Bole, before his appointment as Dean. During his tenure, the approach to York Minster from the south-west was widened by the construction (via the demolition of Minster Close) of a spacious approach.[4] It was named Duncombe Place in his honour.[5]
Marriage and children
Duncombe married, on 13 May 1841, Lady Harriet Christian Douglas,[6] the second child of Charles Douglas, 6th Marquess of Queensberry, and founder, in 1870, of York's St Stephen's Orphanage.[7] Lady Harriet died in London on 26 July 1902, at the age of 93.[8] They had three daughters and two sons:
- Major Alfred Charles Duncombe, JP (1843–1925), who was High Sheriff of Staffordshire in 1883; married Lady Anne Florence Adelaide Montagu (d.1940), daughter of the 7th Earl of Sandwich; and died without issue.
- Major Adolphus Montagu Duncombe, JP (1852–1904), Yorkshire Hussars; married Beatrice Dorothy Mary Bridgeman-Simpson (d.1936), daughter of Rev. William Bridgman-Simpson by Lady Frances Laura Wentworth Fitzwilliam (who was a daughter of the 5th Earl FitzWilliam); and died without issue.
