Peter Henry Herbert Howes OBE PBS (20 March 1911 – 12 April 2003) was an English clergyman in the Anglican Church who spent 44 years in Borneo.
Herbert Howes subsequently became Director of the National Institute of Poultry Husbandry (now part of Harper Adams University) and young Henry (later Peter) grew up in Shropshire, and attended Adams Grammar School in Newport.
[5] He was then Priest-in-Charge of Quop (1940–50), but that ten year incumbency masks his experiences of the Second World War.
Despite the privations of that experience, he was able to translate the New Testament from Greek into Land Dayak, writing on the back of labels from bottles and hiding the texts under the floorboards of his hut.
[12] He was Principal of the re-founded House of the Epiphany (1971–76) (there was a separate Warden) and then finally Assistant Bishop of Kuching (1976–81).
