Philip Richard Llewelyn Morgan (11 March 1927 – 12 January 2017) was an English sportsman, clergyman and educator.
He was born at Derby in March 1927, the eldest son of the Rev. Morgan Brinley Morgan, in a family of seven sons and one daughter. He was brought up for a time in Highams Park in east London; his father became vicar of Hockley from 1935. [1] [2] He was educated at St Edmund's School at Hindhead, and St John's School, Leatherhead. [1] [3]
In 1945 Morgan went to the University of Oxford, supported by the Royal Air Force, where he studied modern history at Wadham College and theology at St Stephen's House. [1] [4] While studying at Oxford, he made a single appearance in first-class cricket against the touring Indians at Oxford in 1946. [5] He then spent time in Southern Rhodesia as a trainee pilot, returning to Oxford in 1948. [1]
Morgan at this period was known as a middle and long-distance runner. He beat the future Olympic champion Chris Brasher in the Varsity three-mile race in 1951, and three years later he ran in the race that proceeded Roger Bannister's record-breaking four-minute mile at Iffley Road. [6]
Morgan took holy orders in the Church of England. Morgan's first ecclesiastical post was as curate of Warlingham, Surrey from 1955–58. [4] He then became the chaplain of Haileybury and Imperial Service College, before becoming the headmaster of the college's junior school. [6] Following his retirement from Haileybury, he later became the rector of The Deverills in Wiltshire. [4] Morgan died suddenly in January 2017 at Winslow, Buckinghamshire. [7]
