Edward Lewes Cutts

Edward Lewes Cutts (1824–1901) was an English clergyman and antiquary who wrote popular studies of the medieval church. Educated at Cambridge, he served parishes in Essex and London and for many years worked for the Additional Curates Society. In 1876 he traveled to the Middle East on behalf of the Archbishop of Canterbury to report on the Assyrian Christians. His books, written for general readers but based on manuscripts and records, include Scenes and Characters of the Middle Ages, Parish Priests and Their People in the Middle Ages in England, Turning Points of English Church History and A Dictionary of the Church of England.
