Patrick Robert Norman Appleford (1925–9 December 2018) [1] was an English Anglican priest and hymnwriter.Along with Geoffrey Beaumont and others he was a founder of the "Twentieth Century Church Light Music Group" around 1960, which significantly affected the development of hymn-writing and hymn-singing across English-speaking churches from that time onwards.
