| Description: | Kenneth Nicholson Naylor. (b. Sunderland, County Durham, 25 April 1931; d. 16 June 1991) was educated at Kingswood School, Bath, and Magdalene College, Cambridge, where he read music. He was music master at the Leys School, Cambridge (1953-80) and at Christ’s Hospital (1980-86). After his death, his tunes were collected by Christopher Solomon. He is chiefly known for the splendid Coe Fen, named after a semi-rural meadowland area to the east of the River Cam in the south of the city of Cambridge.
John Mason, priest, poet and hymn writer, was one of the earliest writers of hymns (instead of metrical psalms) used in congregational worship, influenced in style by George Herbert. Some of his lines were known to Alexander Pope and John Wesley, and Isaac Watts borrowed freely from them. Mason wrote more than 30 hymns, several of which are found in early 18th-century collections, and some of which were later adapted.
