Matthew Luscombe

Matthew Henry Thornhill Luscombe (1776–1846) was a Scottish Anglican bishop in Europe.

[2] In 1824, George Canning decided to appoint Luscombe embassy chaplain in Paris, and also general superintendent at the same time of the Anglican congregations on the continent.

In the course of the same year he assumed the office of chaplain at Paris, a post he retained until his death.

Instead of the room at the embassy or the French Protestant Oratoire in which services had been held, he erected in 1834, mostly at his own cost, a church in the Rue d'Aguesseau.

[2] Luscombe died suddenly of heart disease at Lausanne, 24 August 1846, and was buried at La Sallaz cemetery.
