William Hutchins

The Venerable William Hutchins (1792–1841) was an English churchman and academic, a Fellow of Pembroke College, Cambridge.[1] He became the first and only Anglican Archdeacon of Van Diemen's Land, a position offered him in 1836 by William Grant Broughton.

He was a strong supporter of education through the Church, and because of this, The Hutchins School in Hobart was named in his honour.
