Trench, Richard Chenevix (1807–86), Abp. of Dublin from 1863 to 1884. He strongly opposed W. E. Gladstone's proposals for disestablishing the Church of Ireland. His books on the parables (1841) and miracles of Christ (1846) created fresh interest in the Gospels in some quarters.

Trench, Richard Chenevix (1807–86), dean of Westminster and archbishop of Dublin. He was the author of works dealing with history and literature, poetry, divinity, and philology. His On the Study of Words (1851) and English Past and Present (1855) popularized the scientific study of language. The scheme of the Oxford English Dictionary originated in a resolution passed at his suggestion in 1858 by the Philological Society. His anthology Sacred Latin Poetry, Chiefly Lyrical (1849) drew attention to the masterpieces of Latin hymnody.
