    • Nugent Wade was a friend of the Revd William Sewell, brother of Henry Sewell (qv) of the Canterbury Association. In this association, he served in the 1840s on the London committee for the founding of the new S Columba’s College, Dublin. This public school was intended by its Oxford Movement proponents to be the Irish Eton. Nugent Wade continued with

      that wider group to participate in William Sewell’s next initiative, S Peter’s College Radley. His own son Nugent Charles Wade attended Radley, as did J Arthur Godley, the son of John Robert Godley.



      Nugent Wade was the founder of the S Barnabas’ House of Charity in Soho, with a ministry to street women (as prostitutes were politely called), and a founder of S Mary’s Crown St, an Anglo-Catholic centre in a slum district within the parish of Soho. He made S Anne’s Soho a gathering place for the new generation of central London Anglo-Catholics. (see WS Vaux.)

      Of Nugent Wade’s large family, two sons lived in New Zealand. Nugent Charles Wade farmed (from 1879) for a few years at Limehurst in the Waikari Valley, North Canterbury, where he assisted the ministry of the Ritualist priest the Revd JL Keating, and sat in the Christchurch diocesan synod (1880, 1881). Another son, Reginald Wade (‘a crazy impractical muddler’ as

      Acland reports) was during the 1870s (and again in the 1890s) manager of the Waireka station in mid-Canterbury.
