18.--Died at Orford Hill, Norwich, the Rev. William Frederic Creeny,
M.A., F.S.A., aged 72. Mr. Creeny graduated at St. John's College,
Cambridge, in 1853, and was soon afterwards ordained. After serving as
curate at St. Mark, Lakenham, he removed to Wellingborough, and
subsequently became chaplain to the Bishop of St. Helena, and chaplain of
St. Leonard and Isle of Ryde, Sydney, where he remained until 1872. In
1873-4 he was curate of St. John, Upper Norwood, and in 1876 curate of
Soham, Cambridgeshire. In the latter year he was presented by Lady
Lothian to the living of St. Michael-at-Thorn, Norwich. Mr. Creeny
enriched the transactions of the Norfolk and Norwich Archaeological
Society by many valuable contributions relating to the history of
Norwich, and in 1884 he published his magnificent work on "Monumental
Brasses on the Continent of Europe," a field of labour "hitherto almost
untilled." Another scarcely less laborious task was achieved by the
publication by Mr. Creeny, in November, 1891, of "Illustrations of
Incised Slabs." Mr. Creeny had visited India, China, and Palestine, and
his experiences in the Holy Land were afterwards published in a small
book entitled "Notes of a Journey to Jerusalem."
