Charles Bromby

Charles Henry Bromby (11 July 1814 – 14 April 1907) was the Anglican Bishop of Tasmania from 1864 to 1882.

Bromby was the second son of John Healey Bromby (a priest) and brother of John Edward Bromby. He was born in Hull, England.^[1]

Bromby was made deacon in Lichfield in 1838 and served as curate at Chesterfield from 1838 to 1839; and was ordained priest in 1839 in York and was headmaster of Stepney Grammar School from 1839.^[1]

Bromby returned to England and became rector of Shrawardine-cum-Montford (1882–1887), and assistant-bishop of Lichfield (1882–1891).

His second son Charles Hamilton was in the Tasmanian government. The Tasmanian synod founded a studentship in Bromby's memory in 1910.
