About the author
Percy C. Morris is a little-documented author whose name is chiefly associated with The Chapel of the Holy Spirit in the Church of St. Peter's, Cranley Gardens, S.W. Project Gutenberg and The Online Books Page both list that work under his name, and readily available sources point to it as the book for which he is known.
That book centers on the Chapel of the Holy Spirit at St. Peter's in Cranley Gardens, London, and reads as a descriptive study of the chapel's purpose, decoration, and spiritual meaning. It has the feel of a historical and architectural appreciation, preserving details about a specific sacred space and the intentions behind it.
Because reliable biographical information on Morris himself is scarce in the sources available here, much of his personal life remains unclear. What can be said with confidence is that his writing has endured as a niche record of church architecture and devotional culture from the early 1900s.
