  Britannia Biographies: St. Wilfred the Elder, Bishop of York
It seemed to Wilfred that in the customs he had learned at Rome and the calculation of Easter he had received there, he had found a more excellent way than that known to those about him, the members of the Celtic Church to whom he owed his first lessons in the rudiments of Christianity.
Wilfred was somewhat hasty and overbearing in his actions towards this controversy.
Wilfred, instead of dissuading her from thus forsaking the plain duties to which God had called her, encouraged her in her resolution and himself placed the monastic veil upon her head.

  Wilfrid Wilson Gibson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gibson was born at Hexham, Northumberland and left the north to work with the poor in the East End of London.
It was in London that he met both Edward Marsh and Rupert Brooke, becoming the close friend and later a literary executor (with Lascelles Abercrombie and Walter de la Mare) of the latter.
His active service was brief, but his poetry belies his lack of experience, Breakfast being a prime example of ironic war verse written during the very early stages of the conflict.

 Mallerstang in Poetry
In the early years of the 20th Century, Wilfred Gibson, who was born in Hexham, had a high reputation as a poet.
He wrote some war poetry (and was a friend of Rupert Brook), but his reputation was rather obscured by the much higher profile that the younger generation of "war poets", such as Wilfred Owen, achieved during the First World War.
Some of Gibson's poetry can be found in The Oxford Book of Twentieth Century Verse, ed Philip Larkin, including The Mugger's Song, given below, and The Drove Road - from which an extract is given below.

 [minstrels] The Question -- Wilfred Gibson
Which is rather surprising - in retrospect, this ought to be a more common perspective on the subject.
Gibson's portrayal of the soldier - who, in the midst of the battle, and with death a distinct possibility, can only think of an minor unresolved matter that he will now 'never know till Doomsday' - is incongruous, yes, but definitely not unconvincing.
The language has an appealing quality to it, too.
