Annie Emma Allen (1853-1942), missionary to Uganda. Church Mission Society archive CMS/ACC321, Cadbury Research Library

            In 1900, Annie Emma Allen went out as a missionary to the Uganda Mission of the Church Mission Society (CMS). She served in an honorary capacity for 25 years at Gayaza, Mengo, Kabarole, Toro and Nabumali. Missionaries were expected to turn their hand to what was needed and much of Annie’s time was spent teaching and helping in the hospital and dispensary. She was a talented artist and one of the legacies of her time in Uganda are her beautifully observed watercolours featuring scenes of everyday life in Uganda. Putting her artistic skills to practical use she introduced weaving and other handicrafts to local women and girls. Invalided back to England, she retired in January 1926, aged 70 years. She died 27 January 1942 in Cilrhiw, Narberth, Wales.
