Derrick Taylor

Derrick Taylor (August 12, 1930 – November 26, 2011) was a British collier and garden maintenance worker best known for his conversion to Roman Catholicism in 1950 at the age of twenty and his subsequent opposition to the changes to the Latin Mass that take place as a result of the Second Vatican Council (1962-5). The spiritual turmoil Derrick experienced as a result of the changes produced at least two known sessions of interior locution, the most profound of which were the Locutions of the Sacred Heart of 1971 which took place in the narthex of St Wilfrid's Church in Preston, Lancashire. Derrick, along with the help of his wife Irene, organised Latin Masses at their home 222 Longmeanygate near Leyland in the 1970s and were early promulgators of the SSPX in England.
