Biographical Note

Brooke Lambert (1834 -- 1901) was an English clergyman and social reformer. He graduated (B.A., M.A., and B.C.L.) from Brasenose College, Oxford University. He became vicar of St. Mark's, Whitechapel, in 1866. There he became involved in many issues outside of the ecclesiastical range. He studied the poor law administration and government, and published a volume titled, Pauperism. He founded a soup kitchen, mutual improvement society, and a working man's club. He also renovated the church. Poor health forced him to resign his Whitechapel position.

After his health was restored, Lambert held a number of positions including vicar of Tamworth, Staffordshire and voluntary work for the London school board. In 1880, he became the vicar of Greenwich, where he remained until his death. In that position he did much for the public good, such as working with the schools, founding the Greenwich Provident Dispensary, and serving as chairman of the Metropolitan Association for Befriending Young Servants.

Scope and Contents

The papers of Brooke Lambert are comprised of letters written to him between 1860 and 1901. Most of the papers are signed, holograph letters. Letters are arranged alphabetically by correspondent, then chronologically. Topics range from pulpit freedom to women's suffrage and colonialism to the welfare of orphans and the poor. The correspondents include such people as William Boyd Carpenter, Edward Denison, Richard Holt Hutton, Mark Pattison, William Stubbs, Archibald Campbell Tait, and Anthony Wilson Thorold.
