Biography
Pender 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 eventually received 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 preacher by the Bishop of Exeter the following year.[5] He served as clergyman in Buckfastleigh during this time and, following his appointment, served in Modbury from 1861 to 1866. In 1867, while curate in Yealmpton,[3] he began courting 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 only three survived into 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 couple lived in Devon for most of their married lives, except for the period 1873–84 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 a series of 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).
