Ronald Knox
Monsignor Ronald Arbuthnott Knox was a remarkably versatile British intellectual — a Roman Catholic priest, theologian, fiction writer, and BBC broadcaster.
Educated at Eton College and Balliol College, Oxford, he was initially ordained as an Anglican priest in 1912, serving as chaplain at Trinity College, Oxford.
His conversion to Catholicism in 1917 led to his ordination as a Catholic priest in 1918.
Knox authored numerous essays and novels and undertook the significant scholarly task of retranslating the Latin Vulgate Bible into English.
He died on 24 August 1957 and was buried at St Andrew's Church, Mells.
