The Rev. Brabazon Tooke Hallowes
The Rev. Brabazon Tooke Hallowes, B.A., the minister in charge, was born in London. He attended the University Collegiate School and College, Gower Street, W.C., and subsequently the Lancashire Independent College (one of the Congregational Theological Colleges), Manchester, where he spent three years. In 1870 Mr. Hallowes took his degree at the London University. For twelve months after leaving college he studied medicine, with a view to qualifying for the missionary work page 405 in Madagascar. Owing to a breakdown in his health the reverend gentleman was ordered to New Zealand, coming in 1875 per ship “Crusader,” to Lyttelton. For a time he was assistant to the Rev. W. J. Habens, B.A., of Trinity Congregational Church, Christchurch, and for five-and-a-half years had charge of the Timaru Congregational Church. The present handsome brick building in that place was erected during his ministry. Resigning his charge in 1882, Mr. Hallowes went home to England, visiting various towns in the colonies on the way. During the following decade he resided in England, and for nine years was pastor of the Congregational Church in Hertford. Returning to the Colony in 1893, per s.s. “Arawa,” Mr. Hallowes, after a few months spent in Auckland, settled in Wellington, and became pastor of the Courtenay Place Church.
