Biography

From Wikipedia.
Charles Henry Bromby was the second son of John Healey Bromby, an Anglican priest, and brother of John Edward Bromby. Born in Hull, England on 11 July 1814. Educated at Hull Grammar School, Uppingham School and St John's College, Cambridge, where he graduated BA in 1837 with third-class honours in classics, MA in 1840 and DD in 1864.
Bromby was made deacon in Lichfield in 1838 and served as curate at Chesterfield from 1838–9. He was ordained priest in 1839 in York and was headmaster of Stepney Grammar School from 1839. In 1843 Bromby was appointed vicar at St Paul's, Cheltenham, and was joint-founder and principal of the Cheltenham training college for teachers 1843–1864. In 1864 he was appointed Bishop of Tasmania, the last Colonial bishop to be nominated by the crown, and was consecrated on St Peter's day 1864, by Charles Longley, Archbishop of Canterbury at Canterbury Cathedral. In 1868, when the question of the abolishing of state aid to religion was dealt with, Bromby was largely responsible for the passing of the commutation act which resulted in the Church of England in Tasmania receiving about £60,000 as a perpetual endowment instead of the former yearly payments. Early in 1869 a contract was made for the building of the nave of St David's cathedral, Hobart, and the cathedral was consecrated in 1874, Bromby himself acting as Dean from 1874 to 1876. In 1880 he visited England, and in 1882 resigned his see. His episcopate was marked by the building of several new churches and a great increase in the number of clergy.
Bromby returned to England and became rector of Shrawardine-cum-Montford (1882–1887), and assistant-bishop of Lichfield (1882–1891). He was also warden of St John's Hospital, Lichfield (1887–1891). He then became assistant Bishop of Bath and Wells until he resigned in 1900 at the age of 86. He lived in retirement with his son, Henry Bromby, at Clifton, and died there on 14 April 1907.
