Allan Fea

Allan Fea (25 May 1860 – 9 June 1956), was a British historian, specializing in the English Civil Wars period and the House of Stuart, and an antiquary, after a first career as a clerk at the Bank of England.

In 1911, he was living at South Lodge, Pinner, with his wife and one servant, calling himself a retired bank clerk and author.

[5] Fea’s interest in priest holes and hiding places was partly prompted by visiting Sharsted Court, near his home in Newnham.

[6] After a prolific second career as a writer of historical books, Fea died in Whitstable, Kent in 1956, aged 96.

Probate was granted to his nephew Cyril Alfred Fea, a bank official.
