Conrad Noel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Conrad le Despenser Roden Noel (12 July 1869 - 2 July 1942) was a prominent British Christian Socialist. His father was the poet Roden Noël.
Born in Kew, Noel became a deacon in the Church of England and officiated in various parishes until 1910, when he became the vicar of Thaxted in Essex. He joined the Independent Labour Party, but in 1911 became a founding member of the British Socialist Party.
Within the church at Thaxted, Noel hung the red flag and the flag of Sinn Féin alongside the flag of St George. He founded the Catholic Crusade to propagate his views, which had some impact in the origins of Trotskyism in Britain.
