Charles Scott (bishop)

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, Hull.[2] He was named for his godfather, Charles Perry (Bishop of Melbourne)[1] and educated at Charterhouse and Jesus College, Cambridge, where he graduated B.A. in 1870.[3][4] Ordained in 1871,[5] he was a Curate at St Peter, Eaton Square[6] before going to China as a missionary. In 1880 he was appointed Bishop in North China, a post he held until 1913.[7] His diocese included five Chinese provinces.[8] In 1889 he married Frances Emily Burrows, daughter of the Oxford historian Montagu Burrows.[3] He died on 13 February 1927.[9]
