The Prostitutes Padre - Reverend with a Roving Eye - English Eccentrics

#eccentric #history #weirdhistory
Harold Davidson was born in 1875, the son of the local vicar. After a brief and faltering attempt at a theatrical career, he eventually followed his father into the church, becoming the Rector of Stiffkey, Norfolk in 1906.
Despite the failure of his theatrical ambitions, his fascination with the stage continued for the rest of his life. He married an Irish actress, Molly Saurin, and became chaplain to the Actors’ Church Union. In 1908 he even part-funded a musical production entitled Dorothy (produced by Arthur Maundy Gregory), but with disastrous financial consequences.
He had a predilection for helping young women, including dancing girls and prostitutes, whom he believed to be in moral danger. Rumours surrounding his sometimes ambivalent relationships with these girls dogged him for most of his life in the church, and in 1932, after alleged dalliances with a young prostitute, he was charged with immorality under the Clergy Discipline Act. He was found guilty and eventually defrocked.

I'd say your assessment of the Rev. Davidson is spot on. He was an actor trying to be a clergyman. And thanks for sharing that vintage girlie photo! I love vintage photography, too. I have one set showing how rough life in Appalachian coal camps could get. They show a classic "dude" with black suit, goatee and mustache propped up on a bench with three men posing next to him. He was shot outside a dance hall, and the men were the coroner's inquest jury.

Yeah, I thought that was the best bit of the story- what a legend! And being rescued (if ultimately unsuccessfully) by a 16yo girl was such a weird reversal of his life!

Dear Oddity. BRAVO. This was a very interesting story. The reverend seamed like a sweet man, just unable to focus on what he should have been doing. Love the graffic moving and little details you place in the photos. You do wonderful work, and yes i would love to see more like this. Take care my friend, be safe. GOD BLESS

This reminds me of Nicolas Cage in the movie Face Off, when he dresses up as a priest. They should make a movie about this and have him play the part.

Loved this one! I love eccentric people. The Reverend was an amazing character! As usual a wonderful informative Oddie video!

People’s actions and motivations are sometimes complex,if we are being honest.

[@lauriemarie6902]

OH yeah. Have you ever worked in the medical profession?

Another great presentation Odds! I don't know why but just by listening to your voice, accent and intellect reminds me of John Hammond. That's who I picture you as each time you take us on an adventure. But yeah, I too astrayed from the church organization but still believe the Trinity. Suddenly, I was the bad guy and BC of this, it's become difficult but you have made it easier to cope with chronic pain. This is why I appreciate your work and positivity. God bless my friend!

Thanks for your very kind feedback Derek - much appreciated 😊 Your spiritual journey begins away from organised religion - stay strong and steadfast!

So interesting! Thanks so much for the pictures, one thing I noticed was the part that they weren’t able to have any children, that could be because. of her having gonorrhea.
