Richard Gough (antiquarian)

Richard Gough FSA FRS (21 October 1735 – 20 February 1809) was a prominent and influential English antiquarian. He served as director of the Society of Antiquaries of London from 1771 to 1791; published a major work on English church monuments; and translated and edited a new edition of William Camden's Britannia.

He is not to be confused with the Richard Gough who wrote a "History of Myddle", Shropshire, in 1700.
