William Moore Ede

William Moore Ede (31 August 1849 – 2 June 1935) was an Anglican priest in the 20th century.[1]

This British surname is barrelled, being made up of multiple names. It should be written as Moore Ede, not Ede.

Moore Ede was educated at Marlborough College and St John's College, Cambridge[2] and ordained in 1873.[3] After an early appointment as superintendent lecturer for the Midland Counties he held incumbencies at Gateshead[4] and, from September 1901, Whitburn.[5] He became Dean of Worcester Cathedral in 1908,[6] a post he held for 26 years.[7] He died on 2 June 1935.[8]

Moore Ede wrote The attitude of The Church to some of the social problems of town life in 1896, which he dedicated to Professor Alfred Marshall, professor of economics at the University of Cambridge and the husband of the economist, Cambridge social reformer and Newnham College academic Mary Paley Marshall.
