Stuart Hetley Price (14 June 1922 – 15 March 1977)[1] was the inaugural Bishop of Doncaster who was later translated to Ripon.[2]

Price was educated at Loughborough Grammar School from 1931 to 1940.[3] He entered Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, taking a B.A. in history in 1943, and then read for Part I theology in 1944.[4][5] He was ordained in 1945. His first post was as Curate at St Michael and All Angels, Bournemouth,[6] after which he was Domestic Chaplain to the Bishop of Manchester. He was then successively Secretary to the SCM; Rector of Didsbury; a Canon Residentiary at Manchester Cathedral and, his final post before elevation to the episcopate, Archdeacon of Manchester.[7] He died, following complications brought on by a stroke, in March 1977.[8] His son Simon Price (1954–2011) became a historian of ancient Roman religion.
