Charles Scott (bishop) explained

Charles Perry Scott (7 June 1847, in Hull – 13 February 1927, in Shanghai) was an Anglican missionary bishop.[1]

Scott was born into an ecclesiastical family: his father was the Rev. John Scott, sometime Vicar of St Mary's Church, Hull.[2] [3] He was named for his godfather, Charles Perry (Bishop of Melbourne) and educated at Charterhouse and Jesus College, Cambridge, where he graduated B.A. in 1870.[4] Ordained in 1871,[5] he was a Curate at St Peter, Eaton Square[6] before going to China as a missionary.[7] In 1880 he was appointed bishop in North China, a post he held until 1913.[8] His diocese included five Chinese provinces. In 1889 he married Frances Emily Burrows, daughter of the Oxford historian Montagu Burrows. He died on 13 February 1927.[9]
