Шаблон:Use dmy dates Allan Fea (25 May 1860 – 9 June 1956), was a British historian, specializing in the English Civil Wars period and the House of Stuart, and an antiquary, after a first career as a clerk at the Bank of England.

Life

Fea was born at St Pancras, London, in 1860, the son of William and Marie Fea, of Kentish Town, where his father was a book-keeper. He was baptized into the Church of England at St John the Baptist’s Church, Kentish Town, at the age of five weeks.[1]

Fea’s first career was in the Bank of England.[2] In 1893, he married Louisa Hallmark at St Pancras.[3] They had no children.[2] A nephew named after Fea, Allan William Francis Fea, died in 1894.[4] In 1901, aged 40, he was living in Newnham, Kent, and was a retired bank clerk. In 1911, he was living at South Lodge, Pinner, with his wife and one servant, calling himself a retired bank clerk and author.[2] His wife died in Kent in 1942.[5]

Fea’s interest in priest holes and hiding places was partly prompted by visiting Sharsted Court, near his home in Newnham.[6]

After a prolific second career as a writer of historical books, Fea died in Whitstable, Kent in 1956, aged 96. Probate was granted to his nephew Cyril Alfred Fea, a bank official.[7]

The National Portrait Gallery has a portrait photograph of Fea by Walter Stoneman dated 1916.[8]
