Timeline

2019

His latest book is Angels (published by Hodder & Stoughton 2019), which maps the origins of angels in religious thought, history, psychology and wider culture.

Stanford, whose mother had multiple sclerosis, was chair of Aspire, Britain’s national charity for people with spinal cord injury, from 1991 until 2001 and again from 2005 until 2012.

2010

The Extra Mile (2010) is an account of his journey around Britain’s ancient holy shrines. How To Read a Graveyard (2013) is a tour of historic cemeteries in Britain and Continental Europe. The Devil: A Biography (1996), 50 Religious Ideas You Really Need To Know (2010) and Judas: The Troubling History of The Renegade Apostle (2015) were all translated into five languages. A collection of newspaper interviews he had done over three decades was published in 2018 as What We Talk About When We Talk About Faith.

2007

As well as his biography of Lord Longford, the subjects of his other biographies include the poet laureate C. Day-Lewis (2007), 1950s supermodel, peeress, and Catholic convert Bronwen Astor (2000), Cardinal Basil Hume, leader of the Catholic Church in England (1993) and Martin Luther (2017).

2003

Stanford has written for The Sunday Times, The Guardian, The Observer and The Independent on Sunday and has written a monthly column in The Tablet since 2003. He is a feature writer on the Daily Telegraph.

2002

In 2002, he joined with family and admirers of Lord Longford to establish the Frank Longford Charitable Trust, better known as The Longford Trust, which aims to continue the peer’s commitment to prison reform via an annual lecture, and annual prize as well as awarding scholarships for young former prisoners to go to university. He is also a patron of the CandoCo Dance Company.

Stanford also followed Lord Longford into the campaign for Moors Murderer Myra Hindley to be paroled from her life sentence, supporting the claims of those who argued that Hindley should be released from prison as she had rehabilitated and was no longer a threat to society. Hindley died in November 2002, after serving 36 years of her life sentence, as her original 25-year minimum term had been increased by a succession of Home Secretaries to 30 years and finally to a whole life tariff, and three appeals against this ruling in the High Court were rejected.
