H. P. Finnis

Horace Percy Finnis MA (17 April 1883 – 1960) was an Australian Anglican priest and organist in Victoria and South Australia.

He then left for England where he served as curate in charge of St Martin's Church, Salisbury (1926–1927) and rector of Nevendon in the Diocese of Chelmsford (1927-1936).

[2] Finnis was educated in Tasmania and then at Brighton Grammar School and Trinity College, University of Melbourne,[4] graduating MA in 1911.

[6] He was appointed precentor of St. Peter's Cathedral and bishop's vicar in September 1927[6] in succession to Dr. W. Somerville Milne and was succeeded at St. John's by the Rev.

J. M. Dunn had been organist and choirmaster since November 1891, and when he retired, just a few weeks before his death in March 1936, Finnis took over the dual role.

[15] Finnis married violinist (Marion) Dora Barrow (24 June 1880 – 24 February 1944) on 11 October 1909 in Brighton, Victoria.
