Frederick Boreham (7 June 1888 – 1 February 1966)[2] was Archdeacon of Cornwall and Chaplain to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Boreham was born in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, and educated at St Aidan's College, Birkenhead and St John's Hall, Durham. He served as a missionary in Mianyang (formerly spelt Mien Yong), Sichuan (formerly Szechwan), west China under the Church Missionary Society from 1917 to 1924 and again from 1928 to 1934, and married a fellow missionary Caroline Mildred Slater in 1918. He succeeded Lewis Frederick Havermale as editor of The West China Missionary News in 1931, a position he held until 1934.[3] He was listed in the 1933–1934 directory of the West China Union University as a teacher of History.[4] He was vicar of Holy Trinity Hull from 1937 to[5] 1947. He also served as Archdeacon of Western Szechwan prior to his appointment as Archdeacon of Cornwall.[6] He became a chaplain to Queen Elizabeth II on the occasion of her coronation on 5 August 1952, and remained in that post until his death in 1966. There is a memorial to him at Truro Cathedral.
Boreham married Caroline Mildred Slater and had four children, three of whom survived into adulthood: Peter, Cicely and John.
