Administrative HistoryThe Rev’d Dr Leslie John Griffiths, Lord Griffiths of Burry Port, (born 15 February 1942) is a British Methodist minister, politician and life peer who served as president of the Methodist Conference from 1994 to 1995. A member of the Labour Party, he was an opposition spokesperson and whip in the House of Lords from 2017 to 2020. He received an honorary doctorate from the University of Roehampton in January 2023, for his work as former chair of the governing body of Southlands College and a senior member of the Roehampton Institute of Education’s governing body. Leslie became chair in 1997, shortly after Southlands moved to its present site on Roehampton Lane, and at a time when Roehampton was changing. Leslie’s hard work enabled Roehampton to flourish, post its grant of independent university status in 2004. Leslie’s passion for the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins led to his being invited to deliver Roehampton’s Hopkins Lecture, on 6th June 2024, which he entitled ‘As kingfishers catch fire’. This collection of publications by or about Hopkins was donated to the University of Roehampton after the lecture, to be housed at Whitelands College in view of Whitelands’ Hopkins association.
