Admin History:
Arthur H. Brown was born and baptized in 1830 at Brentwood, the son of Stephen W. Brown, grocer, and his wife Eliza. He appears in the 1851 census as a professor of music, living with his father - now a stationer - and family in Brentwood High Street (National Archives HO 107/1774, folio 147).

According to Maurice Frost's Historical Companion to Hymns Ancient and Modern Brown was organist at Brentwood 1842-1853; then at Romford for five years; and then again at Brentwood, dying there in 1926. Brown was also organist and music master at Brentwood School.
