Basic Biographical Details

Name: (Reverend) Edward Sugden
Designation:  
Born: 1850
Died: 14 February 1901
Bio Notes: Edward Sugden was born in 1850, the second son of Dr Sugden of Clifton, Bristol. He trained first as an architect, probably with William Larner Sugden of Leek, Staffordshire. Thereafter he attended Chichester Theological College, where he became friendly with the Rev Francis Burdon. When Burdon moved to St Mary Magdalene's, Dundee as senior curate, Sugden was attracted by his work at the Watson's Lane Mission in Hawkhill and decided to join him. He became deacon probationer in 1878 and priest in 1879, ordained by Bishop Jermyn. In 1880 or 1881 Sugden was put in charge of the Watson's Lane Mission which he rebuilt as Holy Trinity Mission in the latter year; he was also diocesan supernumerary until 1882 when he became priest-in-charge at the newly built church at Carnoustie. As it was not then a separate incumbency, he remained associated with St Mary Madgalene's as curate, living with Burdon at 15 Park Place, Dundee for at least the years 1880-81. Sometime before 1887 he married Elizabeth Mary Spark, and in that year he became incumbent at St Anne's, Coupar Angus. He does not seem to have been as evangelical at Coupar Angus as he had been at Hawkhill. A Mr Carmichael described him as 'a good earnest man but ... he gave out that he would not have dealings with presbyterians and so they left him severely alone'.

He had an extensive church- and parsonage-building practice in the Dioceses of Brechin and St Andrews and Dunkeld, mostly inexpensive buildings of hammer-dressed masonry with timber-framed internal construction and tracery.

In his latter years Sugden suffered became consumptive, and poor health forced him to retire in 1900. He died at Beechview, Sevenoaks, Kent on 14 February 1901. He was survived by his wife and two children: Ethel, born April 1888, and Harold, born June 1891. He left moveable estate of £5,304 8 11.
