Terence Lucy Greenidge
Terence Lucy Greenidge was an English writer and actor. A friend of Evelyn Waugh, whom he met at Oxford, the two collaborated in producing the Scarlet Woman: An Ecclesiastical Melodrama. Evelyn Waugh in Letters was published posthumously in 1994, which details many of Greenidge's recollections of Evelyn Waugh.
Early life
Greenidge was the second son of Abel Hendy Jones Greenidge, of a family resident on Barbados since 1635, and his wife Edith Elizabeth, the youngest daughter of William Lucy, at that time the sole owner of Lucy Ironworks, previously known as the Eagle Ironworks, in Walton Well Road, Jericho, Oxford. Terence's parents died within a year of each other in 1906/07 and the young Terence was brought up by his guardian/godfather, Dr. Rev. Henry Herbert Williams, who went on to become Bishop of Carlisle between 1920 and 1947. He went to Dragon School in Oxford, before going up to Rugby School between 1915 and 1920. He won a scholarship to Hertford College, Oxford where he read Classics and obtained a second in Honours Moderns and a second in Greats. The Trustee of his father’s will was the bursar at Hertford. At Oxford, he was one of the founding members of the Hypocrites' Club and kept friends with Evelyn and Alec Waugh and introducing them to the club.In 1924, Terence, his brother John Greenidge, Evelyn Waugh, and John Sutro, the film producer whom Terence knew at Rugby School, contributed £5 each to purchase a cine-camera and started filming the Scarlet Woman: An Ecclesiastical Melodrama, a collaboration that would only yield a small dividend, some forty-two years later, to John Sutro and Terence Greenidge, since by then his brother John Greenidge and Evelyn Waugh had died.
