Life
Hine was born in 1857[1] and educated at University College School and University College, London.[2] A medical doctor,[3] after ordination he was sent as a missionary to Likoma Island in Lake Malawi and was soon promoted to be Bishop of the area.[4] 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. He died on 9 April 1934.
