of Malawi Not long after the explorer, medical missionary and anti-slavery campaigner Dr David Livingstone explored Lake Nyasa, now Lake Malawi, a wave of evangelising zeal saw the establishment of religious communities along the lake shore. One of those who went forth was an Anglican priest, Chauncy Maples. After 19 years, he was recalled to England to be appointed the Bishop of Nyasaland. It was on his return journey that the small vessel carrying him across the lake sank, and he drowned, weighed down by his bishop’s cassock.
