Reverend Richardson Reid was an influential figure in the early days of South Australia. He was one of the earliest pupils to attend St Peter’s College in 1849, back when the School was still operating out of a tiny room behind the Holy Trinity Church. In addition to his academic and athletic prowess, Richardson was also the School’s sole divinity student at this time – a passion that eventually led to him becoming ordained in 1858. For the next 37 years, he dedicated his life to the Church. This inspiring, beautifully illustrated booklet presents a man who was instrumental in the teaching of Anglicanism during Adelaide’s infancy, yet was so humble during his lifetime that very few people today even know he existed.
