Rev.Revd '''Richard William Enraght''' (1837 - 1898) was an Irish born [[Church of England]] [[clergyman]] of the late [[nineteenth century]]. He was heavly influenced by the [[Tractarians]] and the [[Oxford Movement]] and is amongst the number of priests commonly called “Second Generation” [[Anglo-Catholics]].

Fr. Enraght’s belief in the Church of England's Catholic Tradition, his promotion of [[ritualism]] in worship, and his writings on Catholic Worship and Church-State relationships, led him into conflict with the [[Public Worship Regulation Act]] of 1874, for which he paid the ultimate price of prosecution and imprisonment for conscience sake.
