About the author
Francis Edward Paget was an English clergyman and author, born on May 24, 1806. He was educated at Westminster School and Christ Church, Oxford, and later became rector of Elford, a parish closely linked with much of his writing.
His fiction often grew out of religious and social concerns. Works such as St. Antholin's, or Old Churches and New and Milford Malvoisin, or Pews and Pewholders show how he used stories to argue about church building, parish life, and reform in Victorian England.
Paget also wrote historical and antiquarian work, including Some Records of the Ashtead Estate and of Its Howard Possessors. He died on August 4, 1882. I couldn't confirm a suitable portrait image from the sources I checked, so no profile image is included here.
