Hilton Carty
Hilton Manasseh Carty, OBE[1] was the Dean of Antigua from 1977 until 1986.[2]
Carty was educated at Codrington College and ordained in 1945.[3] Having spent the early part of his career in Guyana as Curate at New Amsterdam followed by Plaisance, he was invited to Bristol, England in 1962 for the post of Curate at St Agnes Church, St Paul's Parish.
In September 1965 his landmark appointment as Priest in charge of St Francis Church, Cowley, Oxford, was widely reported by Associated Press (example - Nashua telegraph, New Hampshire, p14) to be the first of its kind in England awarded to a person of Caribbean or African descent.
In 1973 Rev Carty became Vicar of St Bartholomew Church, Reading before subsequently returning to The Caribbean in 1977.
