Vaughan Richardson (died 1729) was an organist at Winchester Cathedral, and a composer, particularly of church music.
His year of birth is not known, but he is known to have sung at the coronation of James II in 1685 as a chorister of the Chapel Royal. After deputizing for the ailing organist Richard Davis at the Worcester Cathedral from 1686 to 1688,[1] he became organist of Winchester Cathedral in 1693.[2] He was also lay vicar and master of the choristers. He remained there for the rest of his life.[2] [3]
On 5 October 1710 he married a Mrs Apleford at Winchester Cathedral. Richardson died in 1729 in Winchester, and was buried there on 9 May. A daughter, Laetitia, survived him.[2]
