Henry Huxtable

Henry Constantine Huxtable (8 March 1826 – 1871) was Bishop of Mauritius from 1870 to August 1871.

He was the son of Dr A Huxtable and was born in Bristol, England; he was educated at King's College London and served as a missionary in Sawyerpuram, Madras.

He and his wife Eliza Amier (1824-1901) were in Madras in 1852 when their son Henry Anthony was born. The family returned to England after the 1857 mutiny and Huxtable became curate in sole charge of Hendford, Yeovil for two years, followed by eight years as Rector of Bettiscombe, Somerset. In 1867 he was appointed to St Marys Church, Port Louis as Bishop of Mauritius. Eliza then returned to live in England with her son, who became a solicitor and mayor of Dorchester.
