Baynes, Arthur Hamilton ___ 1854-1942 ___ British ___ priest

BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY
There is very little information about Baynes on the internet, other than his career record. However, the full text of a diary about his diocese during the Boer War is available. Baynes was ordained in 1882 and served as vicar of St James Church, Nottingham, between 1884 and 1888. He then worked as domestic chaplain to the Archbishop of Canterbury for four years and as vicar of Christ Church, Greenwich, for two years. From 1993 to 1901 he was Bishop of Natal. On his return to England in 1910, he went back to Nottingham and was vicar of St Mary's Church until 1913. Appointments as canon of Southwell Minster and then Birmingham Cathedral followed. He was provost of Birmingham Cathedral between 1931 and 1937.

IMPORTANT NOTES AND CAUTIONS: 1) The first line of basic information may be incomplete in several ways: some historical figures have different names (titles, pen-names); their birth and death dates may be unknown or uncertain (g - guess, c - circa); similarly, their occupations may be unknown, or they may have had other jobs; and, for early diarists, I've used 'British' a bit too freely. 2) The biographical summary may not be accurate. It was compiled quickly from various sources, mostly on the internet, and the facts were not checked anywhere near as rigorously as they would have been if they'd been intended for publication in a printed form. 3) The journal dates and descriptors (which are in no particular order) must be treated with caution: since I have not examined the diaries myself, the descriptors are only guesses based on bibliographies, anthologies and internet biographies. 4) For the biography and etext links, I have ignored any sites with charges, and I have avoided, wherever possible, those with pop-ups or too much advertising. I have limited myself to providing three etext links where there is some variety between them. 5) For the original manuscript links, I have limited myself to providing a maximum of two (although, for a few diarists, their original diaries are held in more than two places). 6) I have provided the titles - chosen randomly - for up to three printed editions of the diaries.
