All at Maryvale are Saddened to Hear
of the Death of Dr Lionel Gracey

With sadness, we share the news of the death of Dr Lionel Gracey.

Dr Gracey was a consultant surgeon at the Royal Free Hospital, University of London, from 1966 until his retirement in 1991. Following his retirement, he obtained a pontifical degree in theology from Maryvale Institute. From that time, he lectured on many programmes at Maryvale and was made a Fellow. He wrote a number of books and articles, particularly on art and Catholicism, co- authoring a series for The Sower. He was a popular member of staff at Maryvale and will be greatly missed.
