Biography:
George Ratcliffe Woodward (1848–1934) was an Anglican priest who wrote mostly religious verse, both original and translated from ancient authors. The best-known of these were written to fit traditional melodies, mainly of the Renaissance. He sometimes harmonised these melodies himself, but usually left this to his frequent collaborator, composer Charles Wood.
Woodward was born on the 27th December 1848 in Birkenhead, and educated in Elstree, Hertfordshire, then Harrow School.
