Some Famous People called Luke Paget
Luke Paget
Henry Luke Paget (1853−1937) was the 4th Anglican Bishop of Stepney from 1909 until 1919 when he was appointed Bishop of Chester.
Paget was born in 1853 and educated at Shrewsbury and Christ Church, Oxford before embarking on an ecclesiastical career. He was the son of surgeon James and brother of Francis (sometime Bishop of Oxford).
He was ordained on 16 June 1877 (Trinity Sunday) and went as assistant curate to St Andrew's Wells Street in London's West End, serving under Benjamin Webb, the co-founder of the Cambridge Camden Society which had campaigned for the building of the church which had opened in 1847. In 1879 Paget went to the Leeds Clergy School as vice principal but returned to London's East End in 1881. The happiest period of this career, he stated, was at this East End mission to the poor. After an incumbency at St Ives, Cambridgeshire, a brief period as Prebendary of Newington in St Paul's Cathedral St Andrew's Wells Street was physically moved to Kingsbury in North West London and opened in 1934. Paget attended the opening and was said to have been moved by handling vessels he had used when he was a new priest. He asked to be buried in the graveyard adjacent to the church so that he could be near to his beloved St Andrew's. This is where he lies with his wife, having been buried there after his death in 1937. Paget and his wife, Elma Katie, had a son in 1901, Paul Edward Paget, who rebuilt many of the London churches damaged during World War II. A biography of Paget, Henry Luke Paget: portrait and frame (London: Longmans, Green, 1939), was written after his death by his wife.
