Henry Stiles, Evangelical missionary and parish clergyman, was born in England. Ordained as a deacon and priest in 1832, he was appointed Master of the Female Orphan School, Parramatta. Stiles did not formerly take up this post as he received a permanent appointment as Minister of St. Matthew, Windsor, from 1833 remaining until 1866. Stiles was a close friend of Reverend Samuel Marsden, and later became an adherent of the Oxford Movement or Tractarian tradition (theological and liturgical revival of the Catholic tradition within Anglicanism) -- Reference: Australian Dictionary of Biography.
