Overview

"""The Daily Telegraph"" has a reputation for outstanding obituaries. This book contains the best and most colourful obituaries of clergymen in recent years, selected and introduced by Trevor Beeson, former Dean of Winchester. Ranging from Monsignor Alfred Gilbey who weekly rode to hounds in frock coat and gaiters to Brian Brindley who died surrounded by his acolytes in the midst of a five-course dinner at The Athenaeum. This book is highly entertaining, but Trevor Beeson will also contribute an extended introduction in which he will evaluate the clerical tradition and make some fairly piercing comments about the state of the Churches today."
