Edward Stuart Talbot (19 February 1844 – 30 January 1934) was an Anglican bishop in the Church of England and the first Warden of Keble College, Oxford.
Education
He was educated at Charterhouse School until 1858. In 1862 he went up to Christ Church, Oxford and graduated in 1865. He remained there until 1869 as modern history tutor.
Career
In 1869 he was appointed first warden of Keble College, Oxford, and he stayed there until 1888 when he accepted the post of Vicar of Leeds Parish Church, where he remained for six years (1889–1895). While still in Oxford he and his wife were the founders of Lady Margaret Hall, the first hall for women, in 1878.[1] He then held the posts of Bishops of Rochester, of Southwark and of Winchester. Farnham Castle was the traditional home of the Bishops of Winchester.
Family
His father was the Hon. John Chetwynd-Talbot, son of Charles Chetwynd-Talbot, 2nd Earl Talbot, and his mother was Caroline Jane Stuart-Wortley, daughter of James Stuart-Wortley, 1st Baron Wharncliffe.
He married the Hon. Lavinia Lyttelton (born 10 October 1849), daughter of George Lyttelton, 4th Baron Lyttelton and Mary née Glynne, on 29 June 1870. Their children were:[2]
- Mary Catherine Talbot (2 October 1875 – 2 September 1957) who married Lionel Ford
- Revd Edward Keble Talbot (31 December 1877 – 21 October 1949)
- Rt Revd Neville Talbot, Bishop of Pretoria (21 August 1879 – 3 April 1943)
- Lavinia Caroline Talbot (15 April 1882 – 30 September 1950)
- Gilbert Walter Lyttelton Talbot (1 September 1891 – 30 July 1915, killed in action at Ypres)

Legacy
The Hall and Library block of Lady Margaret Hall was named the Talbot Building after him: it was opened in 1910.[3]
The Talbot Fund at Keble College, established in 1999, also bears his name.[4]
A memorial to Talbot stands in Southwark Cathedral in the form of a bronze effigy atop a stone tomb, by sculptor Cecil Thomas.[5]
