Biographical notes:

Charles Wheatly was a clergyman, author, and perhaps the most influential liturgical scholar of his day. Born in London and educated at Oxford, he secured a vicarage in Hertfordshire, where he became a noted scholar and an active writer. His most famous work was The Church of England Man's Companion, which remained the standard work on the Book of Common Prayer for more than 100 years. He also published essays, lectures, and sermons.
