Cecil Boutflower
Rt Rev Cecil Henry Boutflower was an Anglican bishop who served both at home and abroad.
He was born at Brathay, Windermere into a distinguished clerical family, the fourth son of The Ven Samuel Peach Boutflower, Archdeacon of Carlisle, by his second wife, Margaret Redmayne, daughter of Giles Redmayne of Brathay Hall and sister of George Tunstal Redmayne. His elder half-brother The Rev Douglas Samuel Boutflower was Rural Dean of Easington. He was educated at Uppingham and Christ Church, Oxford. Ordained in 1887, he began his career with a Curacy at St Mary, South Shields and was then successively Chaplain to the Bishop of Durham, Vicar of Barrow-in-Furness before ascending to the Episcopate, where he was to serve in three posts until retirement.
A staunch advocate of missionary service, he married late in life, in 1933, to Joyce Segar, daughter of Rev. Halsall Segar.
