AW Moore, Manx Names: Parr, formerly Parre [1504], a Lancashire family. The well-known deemster was a member of it, also various Manx rectors and vicars. 
It is not certain whether Richard Parre, who was bishop from 1635 to 1644, belonged to it or not.
AW Moore, Old Manx Families: This family, though not of native origin, was closely connected with the Island for several generations. It was one of the 
Lancashire families (Sir Thomas Parr, Marquis of Northampton, father of Queen Katherine Parr, was a member of this family), who came over in the train of 
the Stanleys.  The first member of it to hold official rank was William, who was Comptroller. In 1561, Gilbert was one of the Commissioners appointed by 
Edward Earl of Derby to make regulations concerning the Castles of Peel and Rushen. In 1635, William Earl of Derby appointed Richard Bishop of Sodor and 
Man, and he was consecrated on the 10th of Jun of the same year. The Patent signifying the Royal assent, addressed to Neile, Archbishop of Yourk, is in 
'Reyeu vs Federa' xix 637. Richard, who had been a fellow of Brazennose, Oxford, and a Doctor of Divinity, was Rector of Eccleston in Lancashire (this he 
continued to hold in commondam), when he received his appointment to the Manx Bishopric. He died on the 23rd of March 1643, and was buried in St Germain's 
Cathedral in the same grave as his predecessor, Bishop Philips. There is no inscription on the tomb."
AW Moore, Old Manx Families: Chaloner speaks of Bishop Parr as having been 'very eminent for piety and learning.' In 1609, when only 17, he entered 
Brazennose, in 1613, he took his BA degree; in 1614, he was elected fellow, MA in 1616, BD in 1624. Chaloner, who was a fellow student, remarks that 'he 
was very painfull, to my own knowledge, in reading the arts to young schollers; and afterwards having cure of souls, no less industrious in the ministry.' 
Fullerton tells us that he 'excellently discharged his place' as Bishop and Wood adds that 'he rebuilt Ramsey Chapel, & was eminent for his preaching & 
instructing the natives of his diocese.'
Harrison: "Bishops of Sodor and Man: Richard Parr, A.D. 1635: A Lancashire man, Fellow of Brazennose College, Oxford, Rector of Eccleston, Lancashire, was 
consecrated June 10, 1635.  He died 23d March 1643, and was buried in Bishop Phillip's grave [John Phillip] in St. Germans Cathedral, without any memorial. 
His see was sequestrated in 1643. During the Rebellion, the see was vacant about seventeen years."
