"Tumutumu Ministers and elders". Group portrait of Reverend Stevenson pictured with other ministers and elders. Tumutumu was established in 1908 by Rev. Henry Scott and Dr. John Arthur and is situated in the Central Highlands of Kenya, 130km north of Nairobi. The mission was set up as a clinic but soon expanded to include a school and church serving the Kikuyu population indigenous to the region. A stone church was built to replace the thatch and wattle old church and was opened in 1930. Safaris into Tharaka country were undertaken to preach. The mission trained carpenters and masons as a quarry was located nearby. This image was taken from a photograph album of the Tumutumu mission in September 1926.
