Bransby Key

Bransby Lewis Key (1838–1901) was the 2nd bishop of St John's in what was then known as Kaffraria and is now Mthatha, South Africa.[1] Born into a medical family[2] he was educated at Kensington Grammar School and St Augustine's College, Canterbury.[3] Ordained deacon in 1864 and priest a year later, his first post was as a missionary in the Transkei.[4] After 19 years he was appointed coadjutor bishop of the diocese, and four years later (when Bishop Callaway retired) took full control of the see.
