Joseph Woollnough

Joseph Boss Williams Woollnough (1833 – 16 July 1917) was an Australian politician and Anglican church minister.

[12][13] He purchased the historic Model Prison at Port Arthur in 1889, which he opened for tours, donating the money to the church.

[21] The Queenslander described him at that time as "a Church of England clergyman who is living on his own private means and acts as a kind of bush missionary in the Carnarvon district".

[32] He remained a military chaplain with the rank of honorary lieutenant-colonel until he reached the compulsory retirement age in 1904.

[34] Woollnough resigned as an Anglican church minister in 1906 after a period of ill health, having been based at Swansea, and retired to Port Arthur, where he lived in the former commandant's residence.
