Edward Cracroft Lefroy.

Priest and Poet. (1855-1891)

Lefroy's mother was a niece of the novelist, Jane Austin. As a school boy his friendships were few but very close, his greatest delight being to wander afield in the woods with a chosen chum.

In 1874 Lefroy entered Keble College Oxford; he took his B.A. in 1877 and was priested in 1878.

But Lefroy's heart was weak and in 1882 he was compelled to give up his clerical work. As he set his face bravely toward the setting sun, the priest-poet wrote in his diary that his one regret would be "that I will not be able to watch the after career of the many dads in whom I have taken an interest." He died, mourned by his many friends, in 1891. He had never married.

He described himself as "a-sexual" but was romantically attracted to young boys as well as women.
