In Portrait of a Party: The Conservative Party in Britain 1918–1945 defined it as a person who holds a political philosophy known as Toryism, based on a British version of traditionalism and conservatism, which upholds the supremacy of social order as it has evolved throughout history. The Tory ethos has been summed up with the phrase "God, King, and Country".
Some questions that come to mind are. Is it a High Church Anglican Philosophy? Is Toryism like saying conservative? (doesn't really mean anything) Is it protestant ( I am aware it was Irish origins)? Is it capitalist? What does the philosophy think of Liberalism? Is it Monarchist, Democratic or both?

There are generally divisions within Toryism; High Toryism, One Nation Toryism, Thatcherism, and so forth. The Cornerstone Group seem to be the closest to genuine traditionalism. I don't think it would be Protestant or Catholic so much as religious. And Tories are generally both monarchical and democratic; if you are in a political party looking for votes it seems inevitable you would be democratic... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornerstone_Group
