  • George Reindorp (December 11 1911 - April 20 1990) was an Anglican clergyman who served as the 5th Bishop of Guildford and subsequently 75th Bishop of Salisbury. Educated at Felsted School and Trinity College, Cambridge he then embarked on a clerical career that was to last over 40 years. After a curacy in Kensington and wartime service in the RNVR he rose rapidly in the church hierarchy, his posts including the Incumbency at the prestigious St Stephen with St John, Westminster and Provost at Southwark Cathedral before his elevation to the Episcopate. Reindorp married a South African Doctor, Alix Edington, in South Africa following the end of the Second World War. The Reindorps gained a reputation as public speakers on the British lecture circuit. Their clerical and medical backgrounds earned the couple the nickname 'Body and Soul'. Reindorp had four children with his first wife, Alix (née Edington). Two of his sons, David and Julian, have been ordained into the Church of England. Reindop's only daughter, Fiona married English Baronet Sir Richard Baskerville Mynors. After the death of his first wife in 1987, Reindorp married Lady Bridget Mullens. The service was conducted by his eldest son, Julian. A prolific author and broadcaster he died in retirement at Westminster three years after his wife Alix. Bishop Reindorp has 10 surviving Grandchildren, the eldest of whom, Nicola Reindorp, is Head of Oxfam International in the USA. A biography of Bishop Reindorp was abandoned after opposition from his surviving family. (en)
