ARCHIBALD
KENNETH INGRAM
A BIBLIOGRAPHY
BY
BARRY VAN-ASTEN
Archibald Kenneth
Ingram was born at St George, Hanover Square, London on 7th June
1882, the only son of Archibald Brown Ingram, born in Lanarkshire, Scotland on
4th October 1850, a Chartered Accountant who lived in Staines,
London and Kate Agnes Francis born in Holloway, London in 1850, who were
married in Kingston-Upon-Thames, Surrey in 1875. At the time of young
Archibald’s birth his parents were living at Mount Ararat Road in Richmond,
Surrey with A B Ingram’s father, George Simpson Ingram (born Aberdeen, Scotland
on 30th May 1815 and dying in Richmond on 3rd October
1889) who was a Congregational Minister and A B’s stock broker brother George
John Ingram together with their cook and house maid. George Simpson Ingram was
the author of several long-winded ecclesiastical books such as – ‘Bishop
Colenso, Objections to the Historical Truth of the Pentateuch: Answered by His
Own Concessions and Admissions’ [in the Pentateuch and Book of Joshua Critically
Examined]. London.
1863, and the equally thought-provoking, ‘The Higher Ministry of Nature, or the
Bearing of Creation on the Truth and Mission of Christianity: Considered in
seven Lectures. London.
1865, or the delightfully enigmatic, ‘A Letter in Answer to the Inquiry – “Do
the Scriptures Warrant a Belief in the Wicked being finally Rescued from
Perdition and Admitted into Heaven?”’ Stirling.
1884. It would not be long before the Old Testament tincture of Mount Ararat
Road gave way to the fresh breezes of Alum Chine, Kingston Hill,
Kingston-on-Thames, Surrey where the Ingram’s and their child, Archibald
Kenneth would move to. Archibald Kenneth Ingram, he later dropped the
‘Archibald’, was educated at Charterhouse School, Godalming, Surrey, entering in
the Cricket Quarter of 1896 and boarding at the school’s Robinite House, Frith
Hill Road, and leaving in the Long Quarter of 1899, the same year his father,
Archibald Brown Ingram died in Llanfyllin, Montgomeryshire, Wales on 26th
January 1899 [he was buried at Llanrhaiadr-ym-Mochnant, Denbigshire on 31st
January]. Life at Alum Chine continued and for some years Kenneth’s Aunt Fanny
– Fanny Elizabeth Francis, born in London in 1846, [she died age 86 in Epsom,
Surrey on 29th April 1933] has been living with them. In 1903 he
organised a ‘Readers Club for Boys’ and meetings were at 8 p.m. and held at St Alban’s House [The Surry
Comet. Wednesday 14th
October 1903. p. 8]. The following year, 1904, Kenneth, who is a
member of the St Alban’s Debating Society, meeting at St Alban’s Clubhouse
[Chiswick Times. Friday 21st
October 1904. p. 3] is employed as a Journalist, on the staff of
The Church Times & The Treasury magazine. Ingram begins writing books on
various subjects of historical, educational, theological and sociological
concerns, influenced by the religious philosophy of the Scottish author and
sociologist, John Macmurray (1891-1976); he became Assistant Secretary of the Kingston branch of the
E.C.U. [English Church Union] whose headquarters were 35 Wellington Street, the Stand, London. He is called to
the Bar and studies Law at Inner Temple, London, becoming a Barrister-at-Law from November 1909; (in 1911 he
is listed in the census as ‘assistant secretary Barrister-at-Law’ and his address
is: 7, Figtree Court, Temple); He became Assistant Secretary of the English
Church Union and also a Scoutmaster, 1st Surrey, (Kingston Hill) ‘Mr
Kenneth Ingram of Alum Chine, Kingston Hill as Scout Master’ [The Boy Scouts.
The Surrey Comet. Wednesday 1st December 1909. p. 4
(also the following year in April 1910
Ingram was with his troop, 1st Surrey, rehearsing in Richmond Park
on Saturday 23rd April for the Royal Review at Windsor in June but
it was unfortunately postponed due to King Edward’s death. Boy Scouts. The Richmond Herald. Saturday 30th April 1910.
p. 6]; Ingram was also involved with the Scouts up to the war, mentioned in the
Surrey Advertiser and County Times under ‘Boy Scouts and the War’ [Saturday 25th
November 1916. p. 6] as being ‘scoutmaster, 1st Surrey’ who along
with other scoutmasters ‘held ‘commissions in H. M. Army’. He entered service
in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve (RNVR) as an Able Seaman (service number:
AA1350) during the First World War; he was stationed at the Royal Garrison
Artillery, London Division of the Anti-Aircraft Corps and after entering
service in August 1915, he served three years active service in France with an
anti-aircraft battery in the line and he attained the rank of Lieutenant.
Following the war he was Secretary of the Grants Committee, Appointments
Department at the British Ministry of Labour, 1919-1923; he was a member of the
House of Laity of the Church Assembly and wrote for the Anglo-Catholic
Chronicle and was founder and Editor of the ‘Green Quarterly’ magazine (Society
of SS. Peter & Paul, Westminster House, London in 1924); editor of the
Police Journal (established 1928 and published by Philip Allan & Co.
London) and Director of Quality Press, London (April 1944). He was a keen
enthusiast of dramatic arts and often talked on the subject, particularly from
a religious standpoint [he contributed his piece on ‘Religious Drama’ to The
Churchman’s Handbook of 1936. London.
The Church Assembly. 1935] – on Friday 1st November 1929 he attended
(along with fellow author Hugh Walpole and Headmaster’s from several public
schools) an all schoolboy amateur production of George Bernard Shaw’s ‘St.
Joan’ by Worksop College Dramatic Society produced by the Headmaster, Rev. F J
Shirley (who also played Bishop Beauvais); the angelic St. Joan was played by
16 year old J W B Wilkinson whose beauty won the hearts of many that night. Ingram
was fond of joining and forming clubs and societies and was a member of the
Christian Evidence Society and of the Reform Club; he was a founder member of the
British Society for the Study of Sex Psychology (BSSSP) along with George Cecil
Ives; founding member of the Temple Bar Club, established 1930, which met once
a month to discuss modern ideas on religious thought and philosophical notions and
founding member of The Grecian Club, also established in 1930, which met every
third Tuesday in the month to discuss religious and philosophical matters, the
first meeting occurring on 17th October 1930 at Prince Henry’s Room,
Fleet Street and subsequent meetings were held at the Cheshire Cheese public
house, Fleet Street; the club was still active in the 1960’s. Ingram was well
known for his charismatic public speaking and lectures throughout his career
(see section: Ingram as Speaker) and was a Speaker on Foreign Affairs for the
Common Wealth National Committee; he was also Vice-Chairman of the National
Peace Council. During the 1940’s he became involved with the ‘Unser Kampf’
movement formed by Sir Richard Acland (1906-1990), a fellow Inner Temple
barrister and one of the founders of the British Common Wealth party of 1942. In
July 1952 he was invited to Moscow
by the Soviet Government as part of a delegation of 14 Christians representing
‘members of various organisations and individuals, with a personal concern for
maintaining peace and improving relations between the British and Soviet
peoples.’ The plane left London Airport on Saturday 5th July with
only 12 of the original 14 delegates onboard travelling to Prague on the way to
Moscow for their three week ‘peace’ visit; Kenneth Ingram is listed as
‘barrister’ and along with what seems a rather ineffectual bunch of delegates
numbering the likes of: Mr. A MacDougall (chairman of the Amalgamated Union of
Foundry Workers), Rev. Clifford Macquire (Fellowship of Reconciliation), Mr.
John Horner (general secretary of the Fire Brigade Union), Mrs. Margaret Harvey
(J. P. of Letchworth) and Mr Peter Marsh (seed grower) I’m not sure what use
the delegation actually was or what good came of it. [Nottingham
Evening Post. Saturday 5th
July 1952. front page]. He corresponded with several distinguished
people in relation to his Christian philosophy, such as the social researcher,
Richard Morris Titmuss (1907-1973); George Kennedy Allen Bell, (1883-1958),
Bishop of Chichester (1929) who wrote an excellent biography of Archibishop
Randall Davidson (1935); Hugh Richard Heathcote Gascoyne-Cecil (1869-1956), 1st
Baron Quickswood, politician and fellow member of the House of Laity in the
Church Assembly, and Rev. John Albert Douglas (1868-1956), founder of the
Nikaean Club (1926) who corresponded on the English Church Union and the
Anglo-catholic Congress. Kenneth Ingram, who
was living at Delves House, 31 Queen’s Gate Terrace, London, SW 7, died aged 82 on 28th June 1965
at the Royal London Homeopathic
Hospital [Kensington News
and West London Times. Friday
9th July 1965. p. 9]
