Robert Burrows (1812 - 1897)

Rev. Robert Burrows (19 October 1812- 23 July 1897) was an English Anglican missionary to New Zealand. His first station was Kororareka and his next Waimate, where in 1844 he established an industrial school for young men and boys. During Heke's war Burrows acted as chaplain to the troops. He visited the hostile camp to tend the wounded, and was treated with confidence and made laudable efforts on every occasion to bring about peace.
