Description

Henry BORYNSKI: Polish. BORYNSKI served as priest in a largely Polish parish in Bradford in the early 1950s. He replaced a Lithuanian/Pole with a dubious reputation and BORYNSKI's sudden and unexplained disappearance in 1953 initially suggested possible complicity in his removal between his predecessor and Polish Intelligence. The case received very wide national publicity and MI5 were marginally involved in the investigation which was never resolved.
