Cecil Ronald Pakenham Vandeleur (1896 - 1963)
C. R. P. Vandeleur died on August 19, 1963. He was elected a member of the Club in December, 1935, and remained a member until his death.
Vandeleur was born in April, 1896, educated at Oriel College, Oxford, and Sarum Theological College. He was ordained in 1926, and was curate at Christ Church, Eastbourne, from 1926-33, and at Cuckfield from 1933- 36. He was rector of Lynch from 1936-43 and thereafter curate at Lyminster from 1943-45. He subsequently lived at Salisbury.
Vandeleur's opportunities for mountaineering were limited but his love for and interest in the mountains were intense. He had a wide experience of various countries and various districts, including India, Corsica, the Swiss and French Alps, Norway, and the mountains of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. His qualifications for the Club disclosed climbs in no less than seven districts of the Swiss and French Alps.
He contributed articles to a number of climbing journals including Oxford and Cambridge Mountaineering, the Scottish Mountaineering Club Journal, as well as the Alpine Journal.
Vandeleur combined in an unusual degree an affection for the mountains and mountain life with a passion for statistics, such as the highest mountain faces; the effects of earthquakes on Himalayan heights, and other similar matters.
Vandeleur was a lovable man, a faithful member of the Club, and his interest in all to do with mountains was infectious.
