Biographical Text

Samuel Augustus Barnett was a priest and settlement house worker. He was intensely involved in religious life, becoming curate of St Mary's, Bryanston Square in 1867, before being ordained as a priest in 1868 His life in social reform began with his marriage Henrietta Octavia Weston Rowland. Together, in 1873, they relocated to the impoverished Whitechapel parish of St. Jude’s, hoping to improve one of the worst slums in London. In 1884, Barnett suggested the idea of a university settlement. This idea resulted in Toynbee Hall. Barnett became Toynbee's first Warden, and later its president. In 1893, Barnett obtained the position of Canon, from 1895-1897 he was a select preacher at Oxford and in 1913 the position of Sub-Dean. He died later that year due to failing health.

Barnett married Henrietta Octavia Weston Rowland in 1873. They did not have children, but adopted Dorthy Woods.
