Scope and Contents

Facing p.32, referred to on p.40. John Coleridge Patteson, 1827-1871, went to the South Seas as a missionary in 1855 and six years later he was made Bishop of Melanesia. In 1866 he moved the headquarters of the Mission from New Zealand to Norfolk Island, and established St. Barnabas' College 'on a slight ridge, half a mile from the sea' (Spruson, p.39). Bishop Patteson was murdered on 16 September 1871 and a memorial chapel was erected to commemorate him: it was completed in 1880.
