Anthony Rolls

Colwyn Edward Vulliamy (20 June 1886 – 4 September 1971), was an Anglo-Welsh biographer and author. He was mostly credited as C. E. Vulliamy, but sometimes used the pen name of Anthony Rolls for his crime fiction. Born in Glasbury, Radnorshire, into a landed branch of the Vulliamy family, Vulliamy was the son of Edwyn Papendiek Vulliamy and Edith Jane Beaven. Vulliamy married Eileen Muriel Hynes (1886–1943), and they had two children, Patricia Drift Vulliamy (1917–1987), and John Sebastian Papendiek Vulliamy (1919–2007), an architect, the father of Ed Vulliamy.
