Canon Charles Jupp, born in Sussex of humble parentage, trained as a teacher in Church of England schools, then ordained after studies at Lincoln, and for six years curate in north of England mining parishes where he was horrified by the suffering of orphans. His health failed, and he went to Scotland to become chaplain to a lady who intended to build a church and school, but who died before this could be done. Yet not before starting Jupp on his work with orphans. From 1875 until his death in 1911, at the age of 81, Jupp laboured to raise money for orphans, and by the end he had five hundred.
