About the author

Born in 1789 and educated at Oriel College, Oxford, he became an Anglican clergyman and later served as rector of St. Giles in the Fields in London. He was known not only as a preacher but also as a careful historical writer with a strong interest in liturgy, church tradition, and the English Reformation.

His published work ranged across theology, biography, and church history. He wrote on figures such as Cranmer and Henry VIII, and he also produced studies of Christian worship and the early church, helping Victorian readers engage with subjects that might otherwise have seemed remote or scholarly.

Tyler died in 1851. Although he is not widely read today, his books remain useful for listeners interested in Anglican history, religious debate, and the way 19th-century writers interpreted the Christian past.
