* The Rev. Thomas Eric Bleiben (1903–47) was vicar of Holy Trinity Church, Headington Quarry, 1935–47.

* Ashley Sampson (1900–47) began his own publishing firm, the Centenary Press, in the 1920s. He was always of a delicate constitution and in 1930 he sold it to Geoffrey Bles, who retained Sampson to run it. He gave talks on the radio, lectured to the Forces during the war, taught English to the naval cadets at Dartmouth, and was devoted to St Paul’s Cathedral. His books include a biography, Wolsey (1935), an anthology, Famous English Sermons (1940), a novel, The Ghost of Mrs Brown (1941) and From the Ashes: Poems (1942). He was elected a member of the Royal Society of Literature in 1941. An obituary by Walter de la Mare is found in The Report of the Royal Society of Literature (1947).

* Geoffrey Bles (1886–1957) read Greats at Merton College, Oxford, and took his BA in 1906. He joined the Indian Civil Service in 1910 and was with the 7th Calvary in the Indian Army during the First World War. In 1923 he created his publishing firm in London, and in 1930 he began publishing religious books. Subsequently he bought Ashley Sampson’s Centenary Press; thus it was that he became Lewis’s publisher. He retired in 1954 and the controlling shares in his firm were bought by William Collins & Sons.
