The Story of Lichfield Cathedral

The Very Rev Henry Edwin Savage (1855 or 1 September 1854 - 19 April 1939) was an eminent Anglican priest in the first half of the 20th century.

He was educated at Haileybury and Christ's College, Cambridge. After this he was elected a Fellow of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge and ordained in 1878. He began his career with a curacy at St Luke’s, New Chesterton and was then Chaplain to the Bishop of Durham. Later he held incumbencies at Pelton, West Hartlepool and South Shields before his elevation in 1909 to the Deanery of Lichfield Cathedral. He died on 19 April 1939. There is a memorial to him within the cathedral.
