Mayow Wynell Mayow

Born in 1810 and dying in 1895, he is identified by The National Archives as a religious writer. Surviving records also show correspondence with W. E. Gladstone, suggesting he moved in the wider world of Victorian church and public life.

His published works describe him as a former student of Christ Church, Oxford. Title pages from his books show him serving at different points as Vicar of Market Lavington in Wiltshire, Perpetual Curate or Incumbent of St. Mary's, West Brompton, and later as Rural Dean.

Mayow wrote on doctrine, church authority, ritual, and the position of the Church of England. Among the works linked to him are A Letter to the Rev. William Maskell, A Second Letter to the Rev. William Maskell, Remarks upon the First Report of the Royal Commission on Ritual, and Eight Sermons on the Priesthood, Altar, and Sacrifice — titles that reflect his strong engagement with the theological controversies of Victorian Anglicanism.
