Biography
[edit | edit source]Michael Stanley Till was educated at Lincoln College, Oxford[2] and ordained in 1965. He began his career with a curacy at St John's, St John's Wood,[3] (1964–1967) after which he became first Chaplain and then, from 1970 till 1981, Dean and a fellow at King's College, Cambridge.[4] During this time he was instrumental in the founding of Linkline, the student-run Nightline for the University of Cambridge and Anglia Ruskin University students, including providing the organisation with its first office to operate out of. In 1981 he was appointed Vicar of All Saints', Fulham, and, from 1984, Area Dean of Hammersmith. He was Archdeacon of Canterbury (1986–1996) before his elevation to the Winchester Deanery.
His marriage to Tessa Roskill (1936–2013), daughter of the naval historian Stephen Roskill, took place in 1965 and produced a son and a daughter.[5]
Till retired to Petworth, and died suddenly on 4 December 2012, at the age of 77.[6]
