John Edward Hine MRCS (1857 – 9 April 1934) was an Anglican bishop in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.[1]
Life
Hine was born in 1857[2] and educated at University College School and University College, London.[3] A medical doctor,[4] after ordination he was sent as a missionary to Likoma Island in Lake Malawi and was soon promoted to be Bishop of the area.[5] Successively translated to Zanzibar and then Northern Rhodesia, in 1916 he returned to England, firstly as Vicar of Lastingham and after that suffragan bishop of Grantham.
Hine is commemorated by a statue, installed in 1956, in one of the medieval tabernacles on the west front of St Wulfram's Church, Grantham, where a cat plays with his robe tassel.[6]
