Britain's long-established clerical tradition is given color and life in the pages of this collection of obituaries culled from the pages of its national journal of record, The Daily Telegraph. The conservative daily newspaper's obitutaries are celebrated for their well-written and incisive description of their subjects - never more so than when describing celergymen, from Monsignor Alfred Gilbey who rode to hounds weekly in frock coat and gaiters to Brian Brindley who died surrounded by his acolytes in the midst of a five course dinner at his Club.
