William Sandford Pakenham-Walsh (simplified Chinese: 万拔文; traditional Chinese: 萬拔文; Pinyin: Wàn Báwén; Foochow Romanized: Uâng Bĕk-ùng; 1868 – April 26, 1960) was a Christian clergyman, educationalist and writer.

[2] In 1897, W. S. Pakenham-Walsh went to China under the auspices of CMS to work with the Dublin University Fukien Mission as Chaplain to the British community in Fuzhou,[1][2] where he labored as a pastor of St. John's Church in Cangshan.

[2] On his return to England he became Vicar of Sulgrave, Northamptonshire,[6] and also a keen scholar and educationalist.

His strong interest in Anne Boleyn began in 1917 during his missionary trip in Fuzhou, when he found in the Fuzhou British Community Library books related to Anne Boleyn's life.

[1] In his diary he said that for 30 years he had been in constant touch with King Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn, and other figures of the Tudor Court.
