  • Australian Dictionary of Biography (online) 5 April 2020: (William Grant Broughton (1788-1853), Church of England bishop, was born on 22 May 1788 at Westminster, London. He studies at Pembroke Hall, Cambridge (M.A. 1823). In 1818 he was ordained a priest. In 1828 he was nominated archdeacon of New South Wales, and reached Sydney on 13 September 1829. He worked hard and gained cooperation. He was involved in disputes over the organization of education, to which he gave much importance. He was consecrated Bishop of Australia in Lambeth Palace on 14 February 1836. Disputes over education continued, and problems arose within the church over the Tractarian movement. He promoted the formation of other dioceses in Australia (himself becoming Bishop of Sydney in 1847), and in 1850 conducted a meeting of Australasian Anglican bishops. While visiting England to promote constitutional reform of the Australian church within the Church of England, he was taken ill and died on 20 February 1853 in London, and was buried in Canterbury Cathedral.) http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/broughton-william-grant-1832
