St Dunstan
St Dunstan, Archbishop of Canterbury (d.988), was celebrated in his own day as a scholar and churchman, a reviver of the monastic life, and a statesman. He was regarded as a saint from the moment he died, and his reputation remained high in the English Church throughout the middle ages.
The Little Lives of the Saints
The Reverend Percy Dearmer MA (Oxon), DD, (1867-1936) was an English priest and liturgist best known as the author of The Parson's Handbook, a liturgical manual. A lifelong socialist, he was an early advocate of the ordination of women to public ministry but not to the priesthood, and very concerned with social justice. He had a strong influence on the music of the church and, with Ralph Vaughan Williams and Martin Shaw, is credited with the revival and spread of traditional and medieval English musical forms. In 1901, after serving four curacies, Dearmer was appointed the third vicar of London church St. Mary-the-Virgin, Primrose Hill, where he remained until 1915.
