Harold Davidson (1875-1937) was a Church of England priest defrocked for immorality in a cause celebre, and famously mauled to death by a lion while taking part in a seaside resort sideshow.
Davidson had become rector of the Norfolk village of Stiffkey (pronounced Stewkey) in 1906. Almost from the start he formed a special interest in the plight of 'fallen women', spending most of his time in London where he enjoyed the fast liofe of the capital, and acquiring the nickname of 'the prostitutes' padre'.
