Chenevix, Richard, 1696-1779.
Richard Chenevix (1696/7-1779) was Church of Ireland bishop of Waterford and Lismore. In 1719, he became domestic chaplain to the second earl of Scarbrough. In 1728 he entered the service of Philip Dormer Stanhope, fourth earl of Chesterfield whose influence was instrumental in furthering his career through the appointments first to the vacant Irish bishopric and later to the see of Killaloe, despite the objections of Geoge II, and finally in 1746 to the see of Waterford and Lismore.
