St. Stephen's Church

St. Stephen's open in 1857

1857 - 1875 Revd. Canon Burbidge

John Burbidge, the first Vicar of St. Stephen's, who died in London in February, 1908, in his eighty-third year.  A decided Protestant, his teaching was thoroughly evangelical.  He was a lovable man of great zeal, who gained the confidence of all who knew him.  During his seventeen years' ministry – 1858-75 – at St. Stephen's the church was always full.  He attracted large numbers of young men, who on the first Sunday of each year crowded his church to hear his special address to them.  I well remember his genial, attractive style.  Widespread regret was manifested in 1875 when he removed to Emmanuel Church, Liverpool, where, at a later period, he became a Canon of the Cathedral.
