Public Lecture: Importance of the Right Revd George Smith in Hong Kong History: Laying Foundations to Education and Mission
Dr Gillian Bickley was born in the UK and has lived and worked mainly in Hong Kong since 1970. Her books aim to create a record of Hong Kong and those who have lived in Hong Kong, both in C19th and the present day. They include works which take many years to research and write, such as, Journeys with a Mission, an edition of the travel journals of the first Anglican Bishop of Victoria (Hong Kong), the Right Revd George Smith—St Paul’s College, Diocesan Girls’ School, and Diocesan Boys’ School owe their origins to the Bishop and his wife, and also short poems.
