Dom Henry Ashworth

(1914-1980)

 

Let us do justice to the foundational and pioneering work of the many in the last one hundred and fifty years who have been involved in this project.

One notable contributor from the Solesmes Congregation in England was Dom Henry Ashworth of Quarr Abbey. He wrote many articles and contributed to the preparation of Latin orations in the Missale Romanum of Pp Paul VI (1970, 1975, 2002, 2008, editio emendata).
