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 , The English Liturgy , The English Hymnal , Socialism and Religion , The Church and Social Questions and Reunion and Rome .
