A Global Mission of Faith and Freedom: Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther and Sir Thomas Dyke Acland
Heritage Open Day: A small exhibition to share the connection between the first African Anglican Bishop, Samuel Ajayi Crowther (c. 1809 – 31 December 1891), Sir Thomas Dyke Acland, 10th Baronet (1787-1871) and the chapel at Killerton. Samuel Ajayi Crowther (c.1809-1891) was a linguist, author, Christian missionary and the first African Bishop of the Anglican Church. As a young man he was liberated from a transatlantic crossing into slavery and settled in Sierra Leone. Sir Thomas Dyke Acland 10th baronet (1787-1871) was a philanthropist connected to a network of social reformers at home and across the British Empire. Crowther and Acland were connected by their Christian faith and their support for the anti-slavery movement. Both were active members of the Church Missionary Society.
