Tradition Saint Matthew's was founded after the foundations of the Catholic Revival had been set; with its first Vicar, Father Robert Daunt, being described by the time of his death as "a decided High Churchman, [who] had held strong views on the question of the independence of the Church in spiritual matters.".The St Matthew's Parish Magazine (September 1883) Obituary of The Rev Robert Daunt MA column 4. As such, the church has, from its founding, followed the Anglo-Catholic High Church tradition — a rarity within the diocese.
