Biography
editPender Hodge Cudlip was born to William Edgecombe Cudlip in Porthleven near Helston, Cornwall in April 1835.[1] He attended the University of Oxford, matriculating on 25 April 1855 and receiving degrees from Magdalen Hall,[2] – his BA in 1858 and MA four years later.[3][4][5] While attending Oxford, Cudlip co-wrote an article, Music, with Tremenheere Johns and Pascoe Grenfell Hill for the Helston Grammar School Magazine.[1]
Cudlip was ordained a deacon in 1860, then a priest by the Bishop of Exeter in 1861.[5] His first clerical posting at Buckfastleigh, Devon, was followed by Modbury in 1861–1866. In 1867, while a curate in Yealmpton, also in Devon,[3] he met Annie Hall Thomas and the two were married on 10 July that year.[2][6][7][8][9] The couple had six children, of whom three survived to adulthood.[10] One of his daughters later married Major William Price Drury, a Royal Marine, who wrote some nautical novels at the end of the century.[11]
The Cudlips lived in Devon for most of their married lives, except for 1873–1884 spent in Paddington, London.[12] Thereafter Cudlip was vicar of Sparkwell for 25 years.[2][4] He also held the title of Rural Dean of Plympton.[5] Before his death in 1911, Cudlip published several books on religion, including Bible Worship or The Continuity of Sacrificial Worship (1895), Meditations On The Revelations Of The Resurrection (1896), Why I Should Be Confirmed? (1898) and The Eucharistic Glory Of The Incarnation (1904).
