"European Cart and Outspan". External view with livestock chained together to pull a wooden cart loaded with materials. 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. Arthur Ruffelle Barlow (1888-1965), the nephew of David Clement Ruffelle Scott (1853-1907) and co-editor of the first Kikuyu – English Dictionary, was the first resident missionary at Tumutumu.
