Crockford's Clerical Directory
- Crockford's Clerical Directory
-
Crockford's Clerical Directory (Crockford) is the authoritative directory of the Anglican Communion in the UK, containing details of English, Welsh and Irish benefices and churches and biographies of around 25,000 clergy. The directory was founded in 1858 by John Crockford, a printer and publisher whose father was a clergyman.
Crockford is compiled and published by the Archbishops' Council[1] and covers in detail the whole of the Church of England (including the Diocese of Gibraltar in Europe), the Church in Wales, the Scottish Episcopal Church, and the Church of Ireland, and gives more limited information about the world-wide Anglican Communion. It was originally published by the Oxford University Press and is now collated by Church House Publishing.[2]
The Crockford is referenced in Dorothy Sayers's 1927 detective novel "Unnatural Death" (ch. XI) where Lord Peter Wimsey uses "this valuable work of reference" in trying to trace a clergyman who is important for solving the book's mystery.
