Born in Dollarfield, near Dollar, Clackmannanshire, Scotland, Clark was educated at the University of Street Andrews, then at the University of Oxford. He read Greats and graduated with a First in 1879.
He was elected to a Fellowship at Lincoln College in 1880 and ordained in 1884. He was Chaplain of Lincoln and vicar of two Oxford churches, All Saints and Street Michael at the North Gate. In 1894 he took up the position of parish priest in Great Leighs, Essex, held in the patronage of Lincoln College.
When in Oxford Clark began editing numerous works for the Oxford Historical Society, including four volumes of the Register of the University of Oxford (1887-1889), three volumes of "s History of the City of Oxford (1889-1899) and five volumes of the and Times of (1891-1900).
And then six volumes for the Early English Text Society, the English Register of Godstow Nunnery (1905-1911), the English Register of Oseney Abbey (1907-1913) and Lincoln Diocese Documents (1914). His two volumes of Aubrey"s Brief Lives (1898) were a scholarly (but censored) edition
lieutenant was, no doubt, his deep experience of the writings of Aubrey and Wood that led him to appreciate the importance of popular belief, gossip and hearsay, and prompted his greatest work in chronicling the sensation of living through the Great War in Essex. Although he was absent in Oxford when war was declared in 1914, he decided to keep a detailed diary of "Echoes of the Great War" in his village.
The diary records the sights and sounds of the war in rural Essex, the activities of Clark"s friends, relatives and acquaintances, and rumours relating to the war.
The full diary (extending beyond the end of the war) runs to 92 volumes, and is held in the Bodleian Library, Oxford: a condensed version was published by James Munson as Echoes of the Great War (Oxford University Press, Oxford, UK, 1985). Extracts from the diaries relating to those commemorated on the Great Leighs War Memorial are available via the external link below. In addition to his diary, Clark kept clippings during the war under the title "English Words In Wartime", which are also held (along with other records sent by Clark) in the Bodleian.
In addition to his volumes of historical records he also published and some original books, such as The Colleges of Oxford (1891), Lincoln (College Histories, 1898), and A Bodleian Guide for Visitors (1906).
Clark was a contributor to the Essex Review.
