Richard Oldham (died 1485/86) was a pre-Reformation cleric who served as the Bishop of Sodor and Man in the second half of the 15th century.
He was elected Abbot of Chester in 1455[1] and appointed Bishop of Sodor and Man on 11[2] or 15[3] February 1478, holding both posts until his death. Contemporary records reveal some acrimony between Oldham and the townsfolk of Chester.[1] In 1474 and 1478, the Exchequer of Chester guaranteed his safety and that of his monks, and in a later turnaround of events in 1480 he and twelve fellow monks were themselves bound over to keep the peace in the city.[1]
He died in office either on 13 October 1485[1][2] or 19 September 1486[4] and was buried at Chester Abbey. Script error: No such module "Portal".
