Canon Joseph Stanley Leatherbarrow (b.1908), was Rector of Martley, a small village in Worcestershire, from 1959 to 1972. An avid reader of M. R. James's ghost stories since boyhood, he used to read them to groups of young friends in his first parishes. When the supply 'ran out', he began to write his own. His collection of ghost stories, A Natural Body and A Spiritual Body: Some Worcestershire Encounters with the Supernatural, was published in Great Malvern in 1983. Contained therein are the Jamesian tales 'The Stranger in the Scarf' and 'The Ghostly Goat of Glaramara'.
