Tributes have been paid to Patrick Cormack and the archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, described him as a “vivid character” and “unfailingly kind”.
Welby said: “Patrick, Lord Cormack, was a vivid character whose decades of public service were driven by his Christian service.
“As an MP for 40 years from 1970, he was a faithful and dedicated member for his constituency. In 2010 he became a member of the House of Lords.
“His carefully timed and well-judged interventions spoke to his strong Christian faith guiding his values and prompting his interventions.
“Patrick was a traditionalist, an old-fashioned Conservative who in the Lords was willing to criticise his own party when it acted against Christian principles. But he was not tribal.
“He disagreed with many things done by bishops and archbishops, but remained a friend, an adviser and someone to whom we could all turn. He was unfailingly kind and courteous and his and his beloved wife Mary’s home in Lincoln was a place of generous hospitality.
“My prayers are with his wife Mary, sons Charles and Richard and their wider family.”
