Barclay Fowell Buxton [1860-1946]<\/strong> was an Evangelical Anglican minister who played an important role in establishing missions to Japan, as well as in developing the missionary movement in the United Kingdom. After serving curacies in London and Cumberland, Buxton went to Japan in 1890 with the Church Missionary Society where he was joined by Paget Wilkes<\/strong><\/a> in 1897. Buxton and WIlkes launched the Japan Evangelistic Band<\/strong><\/a> at the Keswick Convention in 1903. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buxton married Margaret Maria Amelia Railton, daughter of William Railton, in 1886. They had four children, a daughter Rachel Jane, Godfrey Buxton crippled by a war injury who set up the All Nations missionary training college and succeeded his father at the JEB, Murray Barclay Buxton, and Alfred Barclay Buxton, who joined CT Studd in the Congo and married one of CT’s daughters, Edith, and then served as a missionary in Abyssinia. Both Alfred and Murray died together at Church House, Westminster during the London bombings of 1940.<\/p>

He was an uncle of Arthur Buxton (1882\u20131958), Chaplain to the Forces and Rector of All Souls Church, Langham Place, Marylebone.<\/p>Wikipedia<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Barclay F. Buxton’s Great Aunt was the prison and social reformer, Elizabeth Fry [1780-1845].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I came across this extremely rare copy of Barclay F. Buxton’s short commentary on Jonah at Book Aid<\/a> last week. My thanks to them for allowing me to scan this public domain booklet and place it online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
