Herbert Tugwell

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rt Rev Herbert Tugwell, DD was a Colonial Anglican Bishop in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Tugwell was born in Salisbury, educated at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge and ordained in 1881.^[1]^[2] He was Curate of St Mary, Petworth^[3] and then a Church Mission Society (CMS) missionary in Lagos.^[4]

In 1894 Tugwell was elevated to the Episcopate as Bishop of Western Equatorial Africa.^[5] The CMS decided to create two assistant bishops to help with the workload of the large diocese and to assuage African opinion. James Johnson, although the most prominent clergyman in the colony, was considered unsafe. Instead the more conservative Charles Phillips of Ondo was appointed, along with Isaac Oluwole, a former principal of the CMS Grammar School, Lagos.^[6] When the Western Equatorial Africa diocese was split in 1919, Tugwell became the inaugural Bishop on the Niger. He died on 22 July 1936.^[7]
