There is a new blog, by Fr Michael Clifton, a retired priest of the Southwark Diocese, it is really quite amusing. I barely know him, he is just a little ascerbic which is I think part of the fun of his blog, his blog is called Fr Mildew, which says alot about him. So far it is really about him, but he is going to start talking about his work as archivist of the Southwark Diocese. He wrote a book about the extra-ordinary Archbishop Peter Amigo who reigned for the first half of the twentieth century over south Lond and much southeastern England.
As a taster, here is a quizz from the blog:-
