Snow Pendleton

Frederick Henry Snow Pendleton (1818 – 1888) was a priest in the Church of England during the Victorian Era.

Pendleton, born on 13 September 1818, was educated at the University of Ghent and at St Aidan's College, Birkenhead.

During his residence there 150 Protestant Waldensians, impelled by the scarcity of employment in Piedmont, left their native country and landed in Montevideo.

Jesuit opposition arose and the Waldensian settlers, under Pendleton's personal direction, moved to another locality known as Rosario Oriental, where his influence obtained for them a church and a school-room.

In 1857 a visitation of yellow fever swept over Montevideo, and Pendleton's services during the crisis were acknowledged by the French government, which granted him a gold medal.
