Percy Elborough Tinling Widdrington (5 June 1873[1] – 13 February 1959) was a British socialist activist and religious minister.
Born in Southampton, Widdrington studied at St Edmund Hall, Oxford, where he co-founded the university Fabian Society and also joined the Independent Labour Party.
That year, he was ordained as an Anglican minister, and began working at St Philip's Church, in a deprived area of the city.
In 1911, Widdrington married Helen Dawson, joint secretary of the local WSPU branch, who he had originally met in Calderbrook.
[2][4] In 1922, he co-authored Return of Christendom, which argued for the combatting of individualism and moral decay which the authors saw as caused by capitalism.
