Thomas Wimberley Mossman

Thomas Wimberley Mossman (1826 - July 6, 1885) was a Church of England priest, novelist, translator, episcopus vagans and Ritualist leader associated with the Order of Corporate Reunion (OCR).

Ordained priest on May 26, 1850, following studies at St. Edmund Hall, Oxford, he became curate of Donington on Bain (of which his uncle was non-resident rector) as deacon in 1849.

Mossman was the primary English translator of the extensive biblical commentaries of the Flemish Roman Catholic exegete and priest, Cornelius a Lapide (1567-1637).

At West Torrington, Mossman founded the Brotherhood of the Holy Redeemer in 1866 for poor students wishing to study for ordination: "This Religious Order has been instituted with the object of enabling a few Catholic-minded men to form themselves into a Community, wherein they may study and prepare for Holy Orders under the guidance of a Parish Priest."

Mossman became a Roman Catholic during his final illness in 1885, and was received into that communion by his friend Cardinal Henry Edward Manning.
