George B. Chambers
British priest and activist (1881โ1969)
George Bennet Chambers (18 January 1881 in Ealing, London โ 1969 in Surrey) was an English priest, social activist and author (writing as G. B. Chambers). Following a long ministry in the Church of England, he became the vicar of Carbrooke Church[1] in Norfolk. An expert on folk music (in particular, plainsong[2]), he was also well known for his left-wing social and political views, which were evident in his well publicised commission of a crucifix incorporating hammer and sickle iconography.[3]
