Julian Moreton

These hardships are recorded in Moreton's book and in Bishop Edward Feild's reports to the S.P.G. For example, one account records Moreton visiting Deadman's Bay some 30 miles away from his home, walking for 16 miles along the shore, living on bread and butter with salted fish alone, and expecting only two good meals in nine days.

A year later, in 1848, the Bishop of Newfoundland, Edward Feild, accepted Moreton who was recommended by a friend of Feild a prominent High Church clergyman, William Scott of Hoxton.

He raised money to build a new church on Pinchard's Island and to pay lay readers in the mission.
