I remember my father telling me about a defrocked vicar who used to preach from a barrel on the front at Blackpool and later did a "Daniel in the Lion's Den" act at Skegness before WWII.

I think he'd actually seen him at Blackpool.

Yes that's the one. Ekky +3

(How old was your father??)

Any advances on the manner of his defrocking - or shall we advance to the rather straightforward matter of scoring?

He was persecuted in three ways before he died.

Ekky's alluded to one, the barrel is part of it - but what were they?

The 'more-worthy-than-a-vicar' was dealt a fatal swipe by Freddy The Lion. Abruptly terminating a blemished career.

However prior to that he was tried twice for crimes committed whilst inside the barrel.

What were they?


Prior to that he was defrocked by a consistory court - for what reason?
