  • The collection consists of 2 volumes and a map. The 2 photograph albums offer an insight into the environment of a missionary working in Maharashtra in the early 20th century, travelling to villages where Mission Halls and Schools have been established. The map is marked up with missionary buildings, and covers a relatively small area. If this activity was being replicated by other missionaries working in Maharashtra, it clearly shows the commitment of the Mission movement to reach out across the country.

  • Reverend Edwin Joseph Dyson Hellier
  • Edwin Joseph Dyson Hellier was born on 7 May 1880 in Minehead, Somerset. He was educated in Oxford, and was ordained as a Priest in 1904. Following a period as a Curate in Cornwall he became Chaplain and Vice Principal at Dorchester Missionary College. In 1910 he travelled to India with the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel Mission, and was based at Betgeri-Gadag in Karnataka, followed by a posting to Sonai in Ahmednagar District (Bombay Diocese of India). He worked in the Mission until 1916 when he returned to England and married Vera Carr from Cornwall. He did not return to India, as his health had been poor during his years in the Mission. He lived and worked in the Bristol and Chipping Sodbury area until his death in 1963.
