h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

The Reverend Harold Davidson is my great grandfather. My father has recently spent a lot of time researching his grandfather. Last year a book The Great Unfrocked : Two Thousand Years of Church Scandal -- Matthew Parris, included the story of the rector.

My father was a child in Skegness at the time and recently asked me to research this event as he wanted to date something else by reference to the mauling of the unfortunate Rector. I was theref ore very pleased to find this entry.
Cousins of his apparently owned the lion concerned but he is not sure if he personally ever witnessed the Rector preaching in the lion's cage.

Hi, would love to hear more about your connection with the Rector of Stiffkey & yr father's researches. We may even be somehow related -- my father's cousin is Anne McConchie who is somehow descended from him, Do reply or send me an e-mail on [email protected]. Thanks, David Waller
