Chris Hardwick (priest)
Christopher George Hardwick was the Dean of Truro from 2005 until 2011.[1]
Born on October 7, 1957, Hardwick was educated at King Edward VI School (Lichfield) and the Open University. He initially pursued a career in banking before deciding to follow a calling to the church. He studied at Ripon College Cuddesdon and was ordained in 1992. He began his ministry as a curate at Worcester,[2] later becoming the Rector of Hill Croome[3] before his move to the Deanery of Truro.[4]
In 2010, Hardwick took a temporary suspension from his duties while he was investigated for a supposedly controversial personal relationship,[5] and ultimately resigned in August 2011.[6][7]
