Richard Baldwin , D.D. c. 1672 1758 , was Provosteducationprovost of Trinity College, Dublin . Biography Baldwin first became connected with the college by obtaining a scholarship in 1686. He was afterwards made a fellow, and on 24 June 1717 was appointed provost. On his death, 30 Sept. 1758, he bequeathed his fortune of 80,000l. to the college. The will was disputed by certain persons in England who claimed to be his relatives but after sixty two years litigation the case was in 1820 decided in favour of the college. His associates knew nothing of his nativity or parentage but the claimants asserted that he was the son of James Baldwin, of Parkhill , near Colne , and that he was born in 1672 and educated at the grammar school at Colne, where he dealt a mortal blow to one of his schoolfellows, and on that account left England. A suggestion has also been made that he owed his promotion to the provostship to his relationship to some one of high influence. There is a marble monument to his memory in Examination Hall sculptured by Christopher Hewetson .

Edward Barnard 1717 1781 , was provost of Eton . Early life & education Barnard was the son of a Bedfordshire clergyman. He was on the foundation at Eton College Eton , but, becoming superannuated, entered at St. John s College, Cambridge , where he became B.A. 1736, M.A. 1742, B.D. 1760, and D.D. 1766. ref Venn id BNRT781E name Barnard, Edward ref He was fellow of his college from March 1743 4 to 1766. In 1762 he was at Eton as tutor to Henry Townshend, brother to Lord Sydney, and he became also tutor to George Hardinge, afterwards Welsh justice, whose recollections of Barnard are given at length in Nichols s Anecdotes viii. 643 . Career Barnard succeeded Sumner as head master of Eton in 1764 and raised the numbers of the school from three hundred to five hundred. He received a canonry of Windsor in 1761, and in 1764 became provost of Eton. He was also rector of St. Paul s Cray , Kent. Death & legacy He died 2 December 1801. A tablet to his memory, with an inscription, is in Eton College chapel. Barnard, according to Hardinge, was a man of coarse features and clumsy figure, but with a humour and vivacity which, but for his physical disadvantages, would have made him the equal of Garrick and he ruled his boys chiefly by force of ridicule. Upon Barnard s death Johnson, according to Mrs. Piozzi, pronounced a long eulogium upon his wit, learning, and goodness, and added He was the only man that did justice to my good breeding, and you may observe that I am well bred to a needless degree of scrupulosity. He is not to be confounded with Thomas Barnard, the bishop of Killaloe and Limerick, who was also a friend of Johnson.
