Notes for Revd Henry T TILLEY

Of Claverdon ob.sp. [8]

The Revd Henry TILLEY's father, John TILLEY, paid for the building of St Mary's church on part of George Caleb ADKINS (father of Julia) Lightwood estate.

John Tilley’s son, Henry, became the first vicar of St. Mary’s and, on August 6 1894, married George Caleb Adkins’ daughter, Julia. It was a large celebration and Bearwood’s first society wedding. Notable guests included the Rt. Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, George Dixon, MP for Edgbaston, and Sir George and Lady Reid of Warley Abbey. John Tilley had nearby Sherwood House built for the newlyweds.
