Harry Radcliffe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Harry Sydney Radcliffe (7 May 1867 - 6 October 1949) was Archdeacon of Lynn from 1926 to 1946; and as such he played a leading role in the removal of the Rector of Stiffkey in 1932.[1]

The fourth son of Sir David Radcliffe,[2] Lord Mayor of Liverpool from 1884 to 1886, he was born in that city [3] on 7 May 1867 and educated at its college.[4] In 1884 he was commissioned as a volunteer officer into the Liverpool Rifles.[5] He graduated from Exeter College, Oxford in 1893 and was ordained after a period of study at Leeds Clergy School two years later. Radcliffe began his ecclesiastical career with a curacy in Aspull.[6] After this he was Rector of Gaywood, Norfolk [7] from 1906 to 1946; and Rural Dean of Lynn from 1918 to 1926.

An authority on Norfolk Church plate,[8] he died at Fakenham on 6 October 1949.[9]
