- Cecil_Polhill abstract "Cecil Henry Polhill, formerly Cecil Henry Polhill-Turner, was an English missionary. He was born on 23 February 1860 in Bedfordshire, England and died on 9 March 1938 at his home in Hampstead, London, England. In 1888 he married Eleanor Agnes Marston, and their marriage produced six children, three daughters and three sons.Polhill attended Eton and Jesus College, Cambridge, before taking a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the Bedfordshire Yeomanry. In 1885 he and his brother, Arthur Twistleton Polhill, became affiliated with the China Inland Mission as part of the Cambridge Seven missionary band. Polhill returned from China in 1900 in the wake of the Boxer Uprising. Upon his return he inherited a fortune, and spent much of his life donating to missionary causes.In 1908 Polhill visited Azusa Street, Los Angeles, where he had a Pentecostal experience. Before returning to England Polhill wrote a cheque for £1500 to pay off the mortgage on the Azusa Street building. After returning to England Polhill attended Alexander Boddy's first Sunderland Convention, and helped Boddy fund his Pentecostal periodical Confidence. Polhill became the first President of the Pentecostal Missionary Union (PMU), and administered it along China Inland Mission lines. In 1925 the Executive Council of the PMU voted to merge with the British Assemblies of God, and so Polhill, an Anglican, resigned aged 65. He maintained friendly relationships with the PMU, and missionaries in the field.".
