About the author

Frederick B. Harrison was an author and local historian associated with York. The clearest reliable record found during this search is his Open Library author entry, which lists him as Frederick B. Harrison, born 1884.

He is best known from the sources found here for Life in a Medieval College: The Story of the Vicars-Choral of York Minster, a historical work focused on the community attached to York Minster. That suggests a writer with a strong interest in ecclesiastical and regional history, especially the medieval life of York.

Very little biographical detail beyond his name, birth year, and authorship could be confirmed from the available sources in this search, so it is best to treat him as a relatively obscure historical author rather than fill in uncertain facts.
