Memorial Window To

Late Mrs. John Selwyn

THE mission work of the Selwyn family of New Zealand, particularly Bishop George Augustus Selwyn and his son John, will always be revered by those who remember the early history and record of the Melanesian Mission. Rev. John R, Selwyn was appointed second Bishop of Melanesia when Bishop Coleridge Patte son was murdered by natives in the Santa, Cruz Group in 1871.

With Bishop Selwyn’s faithful work in Melanesia is linked the dutiful and ten der service of his second wife Annie, who shared the hardships and dangers of her distinguished husband. To perpetuate the memory of this gallant and devoted lady, a memorial window was recently installed at the All Saints’ Church, Bodalla, New South Wales.

The inscription reads: “In affectionate memory of Annie Catherine Selwyn, wife of John Selwyn, second Bishop of Mela nesia, and daughter of Thomas Sutcliffe and Theresa Mort. Died December 19, 1930.”
