The Reverend Percy Dearmer MA (Oxon), DD, (1867-1936) was an English priest and liturgist best known as the author of The Parson's Handbook, a liturgical manual. A lifelong socialist, he was an early advocate of the ordination of women to public ministry but not to the priesthood, and very concerned with social justice. He had a strong influence on the music of the church and, with Ralph Vaughan Williams and Martin Shaw, is credited with the revival and spread of traditional and medieval English musical forms. In 1901, after serving four curacies, Dearmer was appointed the third vicar of London church St. Mary-the-Virgin, Primrose Hill, where he remained until 1915. His works include: Christian Socialism and Practical Christianity (1897), The English Liturgy (1903), The English Hymnal (1906), Socialism and Religion (1908), The Church and Social Questions (1910) and Reunion and Rome (1911).

Dearmer wrote this book from what everyone but himself would consider a distinctly "Sarum" position, deriving vestments and ceremonial from the Uses in England (not only Sarum but York and other local uses) prior to the Reformation, basing it on the Ornaments Rubric and a concern for following exactly what was formally allowed thereby. Much of that use, of course, overlapped with the more Roman-style ceremonial represented by Ritual Notes (and, of course, Society-of-Sts.-Peter-and-Paul parishes used Fortescue in any case) and was of general application, but the rest was never taken up by the majority of even "high" parishes, as it was seen as antiquarian in tone.
As the 20th century progressed, and especially after the debacle of the 1928/29 Prayer Book, it became the norm for the majority of Anglican parishes, in one way or another, to ignore not only the strict rules regarding ceremonial, however interpreted, but even the text of the BCP as established. Once parishes felt free of those sorts of constraints the relative fussiness of Dearmer's approach became less appealing.
There's still quite a lot in this book that is useful, but it's useful only when used by someone who, essentially, already knows it and its competition and is using it as a quick reference or a refresher. Otherwise it's mainly of historical (and, to a degree, nostalgic) significance. ( )
