"Priests and Prelates": the Daily Telegraph Clerical Obituaries

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. They range 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 Atheneum.
