Henry Brougham Bousfield[1] (27 March 1832 – 10 February 1902) was a colonial Anglican priest and the inaugural Bishop of Pretoria 1878-1902.[2][3]

Life[edit]

Bousfield was born on 27 March 1832, the son of William Cheek Bousfield, a barrister. He was educated at Merchant Taylors' School, Northwood and Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge[4] (whence he gained his Cambridge Master of Arts {MA Cantab}). Ordained in 1856,[5] his first post was as a curate at All Saints, Braishfield. From 1861 to 1870 he was vicar of St Maurice Winchester, then rural deanofAndover from 1870 to 1878.[6][7]

He became the inaugural Bishop of Pretoria in 1878[8] holding the post until his death on 10 February 1902.[9][10] He was instrumental in promoting the Anglican church in what is today the Limpopo Province and the Diocese of St Mark the Evangelist.[according to whom?] At the urging of local congregants in Pietersburg (now renamed Polokwane) he sent Christ Church their first rector, A. Weinstein, in 1895.[citation needed] Christ Church became a centre of mission work into the northern region of the Anglican Diocese of Pretoria.[according to whom?] At some point he had become a Doctor of Divinity (DD).

Works[edit]

Family[edit]

Bousfield married, in 1861, Charlotte Elizabeth Higginson, daughter of Jonathan Higginson, of Rock Ferry, Liverpool. She died in 1886, and he remarried, in 1888, Ellen Lamb, daughter of Thomas Lamb, of Andover.[9]
