The Revd Henry Burnaby Greene was the vicar of the north-west Hampshire village of Longparish for a remarkable 63 years in the middle of the nineteenth century. He oversaw the restoration of the parish church and masterminded the rerouting of the village street. This detailed but short biography is also a description of the changing times of an isolated agricultural community, through the dangerous unrest of the Swing riots into the more prosperous and stable period of mid-Victorian England, with better education, welfare and the railway on the local horizon. With his careful research and transcriptions of newspaper reports and the few letters which survive, the author has provided the first published record of this beautiful village and the work and relationships of a very devoted and loyal servant both of the parish and of the Church of England. '63 Years a Vicar' is also a history of the Burnaby, Greene and Woodcock familes during this century.
