About the author
A. B. Clifton is a little-documented author associated with the Bell's Cathedrals series, a well-known line of accessible books on major church buildings. Sources reliably connect the name with The Cathedral Church of Lichfield, published in 1900 by George Bell & Sons, and with The Cathedral Church of Llandaff.
Because biographical information about Clifton appears to be scarce in the sources I could confirm, it is safest to describe the author through the work itself: Clifton wrote about cathedral architecture, fabric, and ecclesiastical history in a way intended to guide interested readers through the building and its background. That places the author among the many late 19th- and early 20th-century writers who helped make church history and architecture more approachable for a broad audience.
No clearly verified portrait of A. B. Clifton was available in the sources I found, so a profile image is not included here.
