Arthur Shearly Cripps - Legacy

Legacy

In his research on his great-great-uncle, Owen Sheers attended the annual memorial service at Cripps' grave.

“There were huge crowds of people dancing around the grave,” said Sheers. “It was fascinating that a missionary priest who had gone out there at the turn of the century in a period when the British were more or less the bad guys was still being honoured almost 50 years after his death."

There is also a road in Harare, Cripps Road, named after Arthur Cripps.
