Presented by Bishop and Mrs Brown through Dr Louise Pirouet before October 1997 (Acc.19/55).
"Leslie Brown (1912-1999) was the Bishop of Uganda, then (on division of the diocese) of Namirembe (1953-60) and first Archbishop (1961-66) of Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi. In 1965 he returned to England and was the following year appointed Bishop of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich, where he served till retirement in 1978. He had been a firm supporter of indigenisation and only accepted the post in Uganda with hesitation. He was, appropriately, the last white bishop in Uganda, where he was succeeded by Eric Sabiti. He had previously, 1938-52, been a missionary in India and Principal of Kerala United Theological Seminary, where noted for his work on the liturgy for the Church of South India. He is author of Three Worlds: One Word: Account of a Mission (1981). See Wikipedia. These papers demonstrate that he retained a close interest in Ugandan affairs well into his retirement. Several of the papers derive from his wife Winifred."
