Cury (Cornish: Egloskuri) is a civil parish and village in southwest Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.

[8] He is notable for the controversy aroused by his ministry due to his practice of liturgical borrowing from the Roman Catholic Church and other aspects of it.

[10] Though disciplined by successive bishops of Truro (Charles Stubbs and Winfrid Burrows) he persisted in his ways until a group of his opponents ejected him from the parish by force.

[11] Thereafter he moved to London and for a while owned a small publishing firm called Cope and Fenwick.

Bernard Walke, wrote of him: "I regard him as not only the most original but one of the most rare personalities I have ever known ... [with] a nature too shy and at the same time too intolerant of the commonplace to meet with the world's approval.
