The Right Reverend Francis Alexander Randall Cramer-Roberts

Diocesan Bishop (1878 - 1885)

In honour of the late Bishop Addington Venables the house on Bishop Hill was renamed Addington House and became the home of the next Bishop, the Right Reverend Francis Alexander Randall Cramer-Roberts and his wife. Bishop Cramer-Roberts’ period in Nassau was a peaceful time after the turmoil of Bishop Venables’ tenure. Although he achieved much in consolidating the work of the Church, it was also a period of sadness. It is said that his first wife and all their children died here and when his second wife became ill in May 1885 Bishop Cramer- Roberts resigned the See and returned to England.
