About Octavius Hadfield
Second Anglican Bishop of Wellington, and 3rd Primate of New Zealand. Died at 90 years of age.
The 10th child and youngest son of Joseph Hadfield, a silk merchant, and his wife, Amelia Caroline White,Octavius Hadfield was a remarkable individual who played a large part in the public life of New Zealand during the early years of european settlement. Much of Hadfield's early childhood was spent on the Continent, at Brussels, Lille, Paris and Tours. Back in England, from 1829 he attended Charterhouse until severe asthma forced him to leave the school in 1831. In 1832 he went to Pembroke College, Oxford, but in 1833 continued ill health brought an end to formal university studies. After some months' recuperating in the Azores, he taught at a school kept by his sisters at Ventnor, Isle of Wight. But Hadfield responded to 'a duty' to become a missionary; his application to the Church Missionary Society was accepted in October 1837. As the bishop of London would not ordain him without a degree, Hadfield was admitted to deacon's orders in September 1838 in Sydney by William Broughton, bishop of Australia, and at Paihia, Bay of Islands, on 6 January 1839, he became the first priest to be ordained in New Zealand. He came to New Zealand as a missionary, determined to serve God faithfully in what he expected to be a short life. He became a great evangelist and teacher of the Maori people on the Kapiti Coast, and was a tremendous influence for good upon the leaders of both races. He became bishop of Wellington in 1870 and in 1890 Hadfield was elected third Anglican primate of New Zealand, a post he held until his retirement in 1893. He played his part in securing justice for both Maori and pakeha and in establishing a well-ordered church in this land.
