Portrait of the well liked and respected Canon Howson, Rector of Guiseley Parish Church, St.Oswald's between 1906 and 1934. He was previously Vicar of Christchurch, Chester but on 24th August 1906 the Wardens of Trinity College, Cambridge offered him the living of Guiseley. Reverend James Francis Howson was also a Padre during the first World War. He died at the age of 77 in February 1934. The then Archbishop of Canterbury, Cosmo Gordon Lang who signed himself Cosmo Cantuar, describes Canon Howson in a letter as having had '... in a marked measure just the qualities that endear a Pastor to his people - goodness, love, humour and sympathy'. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Canon Howson St. Oswald's Church | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
