"Right Reverend Thomas Dunn (1870-1931)

Fifth Bishop of Nottingham
(25 Feb 1916 - 21 Sep 1931)

Motto: Fiat Voluntas Tua
(Thy Will be done)

Thomas Dunn was born 25 July 1870 in London and educated in Beaumont College, Hammersmith Seminary, and in Rome at the Academia. He was ordained priest 2 February 1892 and appointed secretary to Cardinal Vaughan 1893-1903. In 1902 he was appointed a canon, and in 1906 he was put in charge of the Mission at Staines. Canon Dunn was appointed fifth Bishop of Nottingham in 1915 and ordained by Cardinal Bourne at Westminster 25 February 1916. He came to Nottingham 20 March 1916.

Bishop Dunn found a rapidly growing diocese and encouraged church building on an unprecedented scale. The work of religious orders was given fresh impetus -

the arrival of the Assumptionists to the Becket School was in 1931 - and new parishes were established all over the diocese. Bishop Dunn paid particular attention to his Cathedral, seeking to restore all things in Pugin, and made efforts to restore Gregorian Chant (Plainsong) to the Cathedral's Sacred Liturgy, after the inspiration of Pope St Pius X (1903-1914).

During Bishop Dunn's time in Nottingham there was a notable increase in vocations and thirty-four priests were ordained for the diocese.

Early in autumn 1931, Bishop Dunn's health began to deteriorate and he died 21 September 1931 and was buried in the Cathedral Crypt with his predecessors."
