Life and Works
Samuel Lodge was born at Barking, Essex, a son of the Rev. Oliver Lodge (1764-1845) (latterly rector of Elsworth, Cambridgeshire), and was educated at Huntingdon Grammar School and Lincoln College, Oxford.
Ordained in 1852, Samuel Lodge was Classical master of Louth Grammar School from 1851 to 1854, and subsequently curate of High Toynton, Lincolnshire, and Headmaster of Horncastle Grammar School. He became rector of Scrivelsby-cum-Dalderby, near Horncastle, in 1867 and was Rural Dean of Horncastle from 1868, in addition becoming Canon Prebendary of Stoke in Lincoln Cathedral from 1879 to 1896.
Lodge published his book, Scrivelsby, the Home of the Champions, in 1893. The Manor of Scrivelsby is a manor held by grand serjeanty, a form of tenure that requires the performance of a service rather than a money payment - in this case as the Queen's (or King’s) Champions; members of the Dymoke family have held this office since the fourteenth century.

Famous quotes containing the words life and/or works:
“Art is only a means to life, to the life more abundant. It is not in itself the life more abundant. It merely points the way, something which is overlooked not only by the public, but very often by the artist himself. In becoming an end it defeats itself.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“His works are not to be studied, but read with a swift satisfaction. Their flavor and gust is like what poets tell of the froth of wine, which can only be tasted once and hastily.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
