George Nelson Godwin (1846–1907) was an English cleric, known for his antiquarian works with emphasis on Hampshire. LifeThe only surviving son of Edward Godwin, a draper of Winchester and then a farmer of Melksham, by his wife Mary Tugwell, he was born at Winchester on 4 July 1846. With an only sister, Sarah Louisa, he was brought up there, studying at a local private school. After private tuition, and qualifying in 1868 at the London College of Divinity, he was ordained deacon in 1869 and priest in 1870. Going on to Trinity College, Dublin, he gained the Cluff memorial prize in 1882, and graduated B.A. in 1884 and B.D. in 1887.[1] After filling curacies at Heanor (1869–72), East Bergholt (1873–6), and Capel St. Mary (1876–7), Godwin was appointed a chaplain of the forces in 1877. He continued with the army until 1890, serving at Malta, Cairo, Dublin, the Curragh, and Netley Hospital. From 1890 to 1893 he was vicar of East Boldre, and after holding other parochial appointments, became curate in charge of Stokesby in Norfolk.[1] Godwin died suddenly of heart failure while staying for the night at an inn in Little Walsingham on 10 January 1907, and was buried in the churchyard there.[1] WorksGodwin was best known as an antiquary and local historian, one of the founders of the Hampshire Field Club and Archæological Society, and as an authority on the history of Hampshire and neighbouring counties.
