Victor L. Whitechurch
Victor Lorenzo Whitechurch (1868–1933) was a British Church of England clergyman, writer, and railway enthusiast. For some years, he was vicar of the village of Blewbury, Oxfordshire, close to the major railway centre of Didcot. He wrote on religious themes, and also wrote novels with a clerical setting, including The Canon in Residence which has been adapted for radio and the stage. His detective stories were much admired by contemporary writers, including Dorothy L. Sayers, for their immaculate plotting and factual accuracy.
