The Most Rev Timothy Radcliffe to become a prince of the church

The Holy See has announced that Timothy Radcliffe is to be one of a group of 21 men to be installed as cardinals of the Catholic Church on 8 December, 2024.

Timothy Peter Joseph Radcliffe (born 22 August, 1945), is a scion of the Radcliffe baronets, formerly of Rudding Park, near Harrogate. He is as grandson of Sir Everard Joseph Radcliffe, 5th Baronet (1884-1969), of Rudding Park, and Lady Radcliffe (nee Marguerite Magdalen Ashton Case).

Timothy Radcliffe is an English Catholic priest and Dominican friar who served as Master of the Order of Preachers from 1992 to 2001. He is the only member of the order's English Province to hold that office. Radcliffe served as director of the Las Casas Institute of Blackfriars, Oxford, which promotes social justice and human rights.

The Most Rev Timothy Radcliffe is the third son of Lieutenant-Colonel Hugh John Reginald Joseph Radcliffe (1911-1993), and his wife the former Marie-Therese [Mariquita] Pereira (1916-2005), a descendent of the Lords Mowbray, Segrave & Stourton and the Lane Foxes of Bramham Park, near Wetherby.
