Peter Anson


Peter Frederick (Charles) Anson (22 August 1889 – 10 July 1975) was a notable English writer on Catholic and other religious subjects, and on architectural and maritime topics.

Peter Anson was born Frederick Charles Anson in Southsea on 22 August 1889, the son of Charles Eustace Anson (1858–1940), later a rear-admiral, and his wife, (Maria) Evelyn, née Ross (1863–1904). He was educated at Wixenford School until the age of almost 15.

Anson converted to Roman Catholicism on 5 March 1913, but later became a member of the Anglican Benedictine monastery on Caldey Island under Aelred Carlyle.

As an adult, Anson became the author of several dozen books. He was also an accomplished artist and graphic designer.
