Childhood and Education
Hand was born in 1918 at Clermont, Queensland, Australia, where his English father, the Reverend William Thomas Hand, was the Rector of Clermont. He had two older brothers, Peter and Eustace, both of whom also became priests. When he was four, the family returned to England with his father taking up a country parish in Tatterford, Norfolk. Hand grew up there and was educated at Gresham's School, Holt (where he was an organ scholar) from 1932 to 1937) and then at Oriel College, Oxford University, from 1938 to 1941, when he received a degree in history before training for ordination at Ripon Theological College, Cuddesdon (1941–1942).
