Walton Hannah

William Walton Thomson Hannah (9 October 1912 – 26 February 1966 ) was an English priest from Forest Row, Sussex. Originally an Anglican priest, he later became a Roman Catholic priest. He was the author the controversial book Darkness Visible about Freemasonry.

In January 1951, Hannah wrote an article, "Should a Christian be a Freemason?", in Theology, a magazine produced by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. This was controversial, as both the King and Geoffrey Fisher, the Archbishop of Canterbury, were Freemasons, as were many Anglican clerics. The Church of England Assembly discussed the subject in June 1951, although there was no substantive conclusion.
