Reminiscences of Worthington Jukes

A memoir of Worthington Jukes' time in North India and papers and photographs relating principally to the Church in Peshawar.

Worthington Jukes (1849-1937) was born in Canada, and educated at Blundell's School, Tiverton, and Trinity College, Cambridge (B.A., 1872; M.A. 1874). He was ordained deacon in 1872, and priest in 1874, and served as a C.M.S. Missionary at Amritsar, 1872-1874, and Peshawar, 1874-1890, until his wife's ill health compelled his retirement from the Society. He became Rector of Shobrooke, Devon, in 1890, where he remained until 1925. Jukes died at Exmouth on 10 March 1937.
