Oswald Mosley Feilden

1837 - 1924 Person Name: O. M. Fielden Composer of "ENON" in The Church Hymnal Born: September 16, 1837, Canterbury, England. Died: June 19, 1924, Oswestry, England.

His colleague Thomas Diamond published Flora of Oswestry, their account of the botany of the area, in 1891, though it seems Feilden was the botanist while Diamond was the collator.
